I don't know if anyone ever reads the articles I post on here. This is pretty interesting story - a little more personal information about the small plan/tourist helicopter crash over the Hudson River last week. I think you would be encouraged. It is written by a Catholic priest who has been ministering to the family of the helicopter pilot.

In case you don't read it, here are a couple of notable quotes:
"In my opinion, they are giving evidence to the Judeo-Christian belief about how God responds to humankind's suffering. We believe that God's response to our pain is a promise that he will bring forth a greater good out of every instance of evil and suffering in this world, if we let him."
"In similar crises of sickness and premature death, I have seen people go the other way (away from love, forgiveness and faith). It is as if, in every crevice of the heart where we do not cultivate love there, anger, fear, recrimination and self-pity seep in and take hold without ever asking our permission."
(emphasis mine)
