While in Honduras last week, I was reminded how blessed I am. The man above has a cane in one hand (fashioned from a stick) and a machete in the other hand.
I learned a statistic that I found both shocking and sad regarding emergency room visits in Honduras. Most emergency visits in Honduras are caused by two things (in this order):
1. Unintentional machete accidents.
2. Intentional acts with machetes.
Welcome to the real world.....the world outside our privileged existence...

Can't imagine the pain living in a world without law and order. Very sad indeed.
