I was just wondering if the tsunami that hit last week affected the area you live as well? We have a friend that was in Thailand on holiday at the time and we haven't heard from them since. It seems the news reports just keep gettin more and more bleak.

The news of this disaster is really difficult to fathom. I'm in Florida this week - in some of the areas that were hit by the hurricanes. Seeing the damage here, it is hard to believe what the tsunami could do. My prayers are with your friends.

Oh, thank you very much Bikerbraid. Our prayers are with them too. I haven't said anything till now because I keep expecting to get some sort of news that they are ok.

It really puts things into perspective when you think that all the victims out there (and in all the places hit by hurricanes this year) didn't have a CLUE what was coming to them. Just a regular day...and then *whoosh* it's all gone.

So what happened in Florida with repeated major hurricanes in a season pales in comparison to what happened in the Indian Ocean.

What's worse is that the news says that original count of victims said that 1/3 of the victims were children.. now they are saying it's more like 1/2... If all I can do is pray, then that's exactly what I intend to do. Peace to their souls...

I think we may see that toll double or triple even. I think this is the worst natural disaster mankind has ever had.

I'm also praying for all the people affected by the TSunami. Yes, it was a terrible disaster, and there will be more affected by disease because of the bacteria from bodies, ect.

The stories just beginning to leak out are heartbreaking.

Rua;
I'm so glad your worries are over. I still pray for those who are waiting word of their friends and loved ones. It is till hard to comprehend the scope of this. In some cases generations of a single family were wiped out. Life will never be the same for many, many people.

This whole thing makes celebrating the new year very difficult. I think I will spend the evening spending time coming up with ways that I might be able to help in some small way. I've already donated money, but there must be more I can do.
