National News Hits Close to Home
Just this morning I found out that Kelly James, the climber found on Mt. Hood in Oregon, was the brother-in-law of one of our customers at PowerServe. Had I known earlier, I think I would have taken more interest in the details. I feel like I need to apologize to Caroyln Custis James, our customer and one of my online friends, for neither realizing nor taking the time to find out. I know it’s probably a factor of how we’re wired that we lack interest in events that we don’t think affect us personally, whether it’s climbers lost on some distant snowy mountain or reports of genocide in Darfur or mass starvation in North Korea. And yet, as John Donne wrote so many years ago in what is probably the only quotation anyone remembers by him, “…any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind…”.
Carolyn, our prayers are with you and your family. Hold your husband closely.
