China is the place of the most recent earthquake…there are over 10,000 people dead. Many were buried under rubble; children were trapped as school buildings came tumbling down. Landslides closed roads needed to allow access to receive help; phones became disabled, electricity lines were disrupted causing power outtages.
Chaos is ensuing with rail lines broken, running water that is scarce, hospitals with patients who are leaving in a panic, the streets are covered with many people who know not, where to go, or what to do. The military is trying to get to those in need; but navigating the roadways is difficult at best.
As China continues to acess the damage the death toll will continue to rise, as will the number of people who are injured and displaced. It seems that the very bowels of the earth are churning to and fro and we the residents of it’s surface will be tossed around much like kernels of corn. We must pray for those around the world who are in need and offer assistance where we can be effective.
