Devestation in South-East Asia

Unbelievable destruction happened this morning in South-East Asia. There was a large earthquake off the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia which caused destruction there and tsunamis (or tidal waves) throughout the Indian Ocean. Estimates are now (noon EST) of around 7,000 dead and many more injured. I pray for all of them, their families and their loved ones.

Keeping them in my prayers,
