“Man is born broken.
He lives by mending.
The grace of God is glue.”

Last Thought of the Day
Sometimes, we forget that three days after dropping a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima, the United States went back and obliterated the city of Nagasaki on Aug. 9,1945, killing over 70,000 people in the twinkling of an eye - mostly civilians.
Today, many thousands of men, women, children, and survivors gathered in the city's Peace Park for a minute of silence at 11:02 a.m., the exact time the bomb fell. Over 140,000 people eventually died from the bombing.
