Count your blessings

This afternoon at a student apartment building near the campus of ISU (Illinois State Univ) a fire broke out and completely destroyed the building, leaving over 80 college students without a place to stay. Apparently the fire started in the 3rd floor of the building and eventually caused the entire building to collapse. Although no one was injured, the students living there lost EVERYTHING, all on the weekend before finals. I cant even imagine...losing pictures, clothing, computers, textbooks, basic toiletries, etc... It seems as though it takes times like these for us to finally remember to count our blessings and then reach out to others.
