The Moment it Hit!
From CBS, courtesy of TBS
Just stop what you are doing right now, and take some moments to imagine the humungous loss!!
Lives! Livelihoods! Homes! Cars! Trains! Roads!
The need for FOOD and WATER!
I urge ALL to pray for and with the people of Japan, that they may remain strong in this time of extreme adversity.
Help however you can, if only to be kind to someone else.
None of us can ever know what the next day may present us with, can we?
