Maybe we should call 2015 the Year of Catastrophes. It’s hard
to name a crisis that hasn’t happened in the last eight weeks. Scanning the
country and the world, we’ve seen everything from outrageous terrorist attacks
to train derailments, from gas explosions to twin typhoons. Add in seventy car
pile-ups, and non-stop, massive snow storms and you get a sense of how things
have been going.
Daily news stories create fears about walking outside and apprehension
about staying inside. A random vehicle could come crashing through our wall at
any time. That’s already occurred this year, too. Regardless of the potential dangers,
we glide through life not expecting a major crisis to directly impact us. And if
it does, we’ll hope for a miracle. For
many of us, miracles defy logic, and stir up both curiosity and frustration. We’re
always wondering how miracles occur and if we’ll experience one. Figure out how
these people survived:
I’m sure my blood pressure rose after watching that video. Every
day we live life on the edge hoping to avoid one of 2015’s catastrophes. Like a
dark cloud of danger hovering above us, the present and the future can hound our
thoughts. In perilous times like these, what keeps your blood pressure stable?
