Natural disasters . . .

As we all attend whatever churches we belong to, today, we might take a good portion of our prayer time to remember the people in Japan. According to a news report, this could be harder to recover from than World War II . . . and that's going some! It's impossible for me to even begin to imagine the suffering this natural disaster has visited upon the country. It really makes you stop and think about how small each of us really are in comparison to the magnitude of the world and nature. Besides the many people who are lost or died in the flooding, fires, and earthquakes, there are many who are mourning each of those losses. A tsunami of tears has certainly followed the tsunami of nature. It makes one realize that no matter how advanced we become, how scientific we can be, the world is still so far beyond our human control.
