"Japan"

This Tsunami is crazy. The images of all the water redesigning the landscape in Japan is mind boggling! Moreover, the nuclear facility that is about to meltdown because of this horrific nightmare is very scary. I read reports that a Tsunami travels ten miles a second, that is hard to imagine. All this reminds me of how fragile life is and how defenseless we are at defending it when the end comes. I hope and pray that the friends and family of those that are lost get through this thing in good order. Reports that 9500 people are missing, from one small town. That is amazing that 9500 are missing from only one town! As bad as this disaster is, the one a few years ago in Asia is believed to have claimed 250,000 lives! That is basically like one day the entire population of Shreveport disappearing!! Imagine how many people that would effect, how many family and friends would suffer a loss in something that devastating. We really do not understand how lucky we are to wake up and make it through the day, life is really fragile and is only on loan to us. I hope and pray for those that suffered a loss in this catastrophe.........
