Earthquake

I'm sure you've all heard about the massive earthquake in South Asia by now. 30-40,000 are now feared dead. This is a major crisis, and I believe that, already, our nation's sympathy is not enough. For Katrina, there was overwhelming response, despite what Kanye West said. For a disaster of many times the magnitude, there has been headlines. Nothing else very notable.
Since I used to live in Southeast Asia, and have seen the depravity and poverty that these people live in, this is a very horrific occurrence that hits a little close to home. Please, keep them in your prayers. They need to see the love of Jesus in their time of need.
Pray.

A good admonition, Caleb, we need to learn to hurt with those who hurt--and then do something if we can to help. Romans 8 tells us that the creation is groaning waiting for its redemption. The events of the last few months certainly bear evidence of the "groaning."
