Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan

I've got something weighing on my heart today. Today, I mourn for Japan after it was struck with an 8.9 magnitude earthquake late last week. It was the fifth largest earthquake in the world since 1900. The damage is beyond devastating and the people of Japan are now dealing with what lies ahead.

They can only wait, at this point, to see what will happen to them and their loved ones. Many people died and many are still missing. It is unfortunate that Japan and it's people were not prepared for the aftershocks and tsunami following the massive earthquake. With the death toll possibly climbing to over 10,000, we can only pray for these people and keep hope that we look ahead to a brighter future.
