Quake zone prayers

Greetings,

As you've heard, the Mother Earth quake blasted the mountainous region near Chengdu.

I taught English at a middle school one-hour south of there. Flimsy buildings in poor agricultural areas. Shoddy quick profit structures with no local accountability. Faulty design or poor construction? Rising death numbers, 15,000 and rising. Tears for the innocent.

Sleeping children never knew what happened.

Peace.
