Prayers needed

The United States awakened today with numerous news reports flooding the airways of a major earthquake in China. The magnitute of the earthquake measured 7.9 on the richter scales which falls into the category of "major." The epicenter was located in Wenchuan, Sichuan Province which is in Central China. Reports are saying that nearly 10,000 people have been killed.

To give you an idea of where the quake was located, please take a look at the China map.

Last summer, my family and I spent one week in Wuhan, Hubei China which is the next province to the East. So close.

My heart aches for those in China. The devastation is beyond words. Please keep those who are suffering in your thoughts and prayers. Please pray for all of the high school students to be found alive, that no toxic chemicals are being released, and that the death toll does not increase.

This is my daughter's homeland and I shudder to think that perhaps her birthfamily may be suffering through this.

On another note, E is sick again. UGH. Didn't we just finish getting over illnesses? He's had a fever for two days...up to 104 today... so now my question is...who's next?
