[Barbara L]

China says massive quake has killed thousands - China - MSNBC.com

Thousands are dead, 8 schools have been destroyed and hundreds of children are trapped. A hospital has been evacuated. It was centered near a major city and registered 7.8. Please join me in praying for them.

Almost 9,000 confirmed dead. How devastating is that ??
I'm with you Barbara.

 

[middie]

The count is up to almost 10,000 now. It's expected to go higher as they dig and search throughout the night. How heartbreaking.

*Shaking my head in disbelief*.

I think I'm going to pray again.

Lets not forget Myanmar, Chili and actually all the other people in the world suffering in one way or another.

 

[middie]

That's true too Jpm. Everyone of them can use our prayers right now.

Yes, it is pretty bad in several places. There have been quite a few people here in the U.S. killed in bad storms the last couple days also.

Barbara, I had an email from my son today - he teaches in an international school in Wuhan, about 600 miles from the epicenter of the quake. They definitely felt the quake in Wuhan, but they have a sister school in Chengdu, not far from the epicenter. The school was damaged, but the kids were all ok. He also asked for prayers, so I will let him know that the DC team is joining in. Thanks.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all those poor souls that are suffering and their familys. I pray for them every night.

It is good to hear this bit of good news. I am continuing to pray.

What a fun link! You get to play a game (I'll admit, I had my Encarta dictionary up while I played!) and sponsors donate rice. I "donated" 3060 grains of rice.
