    Please remember the earthquake victims in your prayers

    The earthquake in India/Pakistan is just devastating, folks. So many lives lost and so many without homes. We have so much happening in our own country after Katrina, but these people need our thoughts and prayers as well.

    They're definitely in my prayers. Poor people. The people of Northern Pakistan are so poor to begin with. After this, now they are probably left with nothing. My heart breaks for them. Winter will be here soon, and in the beautiful mountainous area where the quake hit, it snows a LOT. Now that they have no shelter, things will be difficult. They don't have the resources that natural disaster victims in the US would have, so its a horrible situation for many. 20,000 have been killed, and I read somewhere that in Kashmir alone, the death toll is estimated 30,000...but it isn't confirmed yet. They're clueless about the toll in remote towns in the mountains. I so badly wish I could go there and help. 'sigh' The world has been having such CRAZY natural disasters lately. First the tsunami, then Katrina, now this earthquake. Very worrisome. May God protect us all, and help those who are suffering. I wonder if the end of the world is near.

    It happened over the weekend (Saturday). Any news site will give you the updates on it. It is a terribly sad situation, as Popcornbird said.

    Just now, I finally got a chance to watch our local news and view a piece on this tragedy. Yes Gina, those are the numbers that were quoted. Throughout the whole news story they showed grieving families and pictures of survivors being pulled from the ruins. However, the comment that really did me in was the fact that a school was hit so bad that all the children under it's roof perished......innocent children and the next generation. The picture that accompanied it showed a child all covered up except the legs and feet with shoes on were visible. My tears are flowing for everyone affected by this. I'll will keep them all in my prayers.

    This year has been pure hell as far as natural disasters go and I pray that 2006 will be better.

    Edit: Just heard the news again and there is one person there who has lost 15 family members. Can you imagine???

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
