This is nothing short of a disaster. Let's pray for the people killed and the people who remain. When will this stuff end? Lord, have mercy...and come quickly. Disapprove

Sea Surges Kill thousands in Asia

The new death count this morning is 23,000 and projected to rise thousands more with sickness and disease from decaying bodies. Puts the word "tragedy" into perspective. Lord, I don't know why this stuff happens. "Natural evil" like this simply mystifies me. But I trust you are good and that you are salvaging whatever is possible. I support that effort with my prayer this morning.

They said on the news last night that this earthquake might have even altered the earth's rotation! Those poor people!

SO SAD.

God, please be present to those who are in the midst of the after effects from this tragedy. Please send your comfort in the midst of the chaos and grief. Oh God we trust that you are at work even in the darkest hours. Please move Holy Spirit. Amen.

I had no idea at first of the magnitude of this thing...now it's up to 115,000 deaths and 5 million people are in danger of disease if they don't get sufficent help (water, food, medical,etc.) in the next few days. But the story that seriously made me cry was this: a woman was holding on to her two children, her 20 month old son and her 5 year old son. She had to let one go otherwise all three would drown, but she could save herself and one son. She decided to let the oldest go; he had the greatest chance of saving himself. (Absolutely heart-wrenching!) Praise God that the son found a floating door and held on to it for about 2 hours and was found alive and they all were re-united! But *UGH* the choice! Please LORD, prevent or at least drastically slow down the spread of disease! These people have been through enough.

That mother's story was gut-heart-mind-soul wrenching. I couldn't help but think of it as the equivalent in terms of natural evil of Sophi's choice. Hmmmm.
