Devastation

Anyone interested in donating to the Tsunami victims can find information at The Command Post and there is some information here and here as well.

The devastation is incredible and the pictures and stories coming out are mind numbing. This morning on Fox news I saw where a train carrying over a thousand people was just completely blown off the tracks and destroyed.

And then I read something like this: Sri Lanka rejects Israel rescuers. Help is help. This is not the time to pick and choose who you want to help you. I don't think anyone on that train or any one of the countless who lost everything care who helps them. Does this mean if an earthquake hit Israel, Sri Lanka wouldn't send anyone to help? It's enough to make you think if Israel is not good enough to help out, perhaps Americans shouldn't help either. Of course, we will help anyway (as we should).

It just goes to show how we are nothing compared to the incredible power and energy built into the physical world we live in, and that pales in comparison to what lies beyond our planetary boundaries. We are completely at it's mercy. And the One who created it all, who put all that energy into the elements is Mighty and Awesome beyond words. The obvious question of why would He let this happen CAN be answered.

Why Did God Let It Happen?

When God Shakes The Earth No, God did not cause this earthquake.

Because I want to know, and I hope others really want to know as well. I think it deserves an honest answer.
