I think all our thoughts and wishes go out to the families of those folks in Greece impacted by the forest fires.

This is, I think, the saddest thing I could have read today: "It's a tragedy," an eyewitness told Greek television. "I can see the burnt bodies of a mother holding her child in her arms. Further away there are more bodies. It's terrible." Fire officials confirmed that a mother and her four children had perished, as had three firefighters." Courtesy of BBC News.

The real tragedy here is not that this was a natural phenomenom, no, the real tragedy is that someone actually started these fires deliberately. The investigating authorities strongly suspect arson. Who sets fire to a village? Who sets a fire that threatens a monastary?

Ο Θεός είναι με σας
