The earthquake and tsunami in Northern Japan has had a horrific impact on that country. The estimated death toll is 10,000. The earthquake created a 23 foot wall of water that devastated that area. I can't even imagine what experiencing that would be like. The devastation reminds me of how damaging and impactful the earthquake in Haiti was.
There is a saying that goes something like this: They are us and we are them. Essentially it means, they are not separate from us just because we are thousands of miles away, look different, or speak a different language. We are all one. Their pain and suffering is our pain and suffering.
My prayers go out to the people of Japan. My heart aches for the people who suffered tumultuous deaths and to those who remain in suffering and despair, I pray for their safety and strength.
