I have been touched by the way that China has come together to assist those victims of the earthquake in China’s southwest Sichuan Province on Saturday. The Premier of China who can not be re-elected to office, was in the area the same day, not flying over the area but actually down on the ground in ‘Ground Zero’ to help coordinate the rescue efforts. ‘Tent Cities’ have been erected for the people to live in and there are police forces that will patrol the area to prevent people from taking things from the damaged houses. Chinese people from other areas of the country have rushed to the aid of people and the internet over here has ways that people can donate to help. The way this country has rallied around people in need is truly awesome. All the victims and responders to this natural disaster are in my prayers and thoughts for a safe and speedy resolution to this horrible situation. Natural disaster happens at random but it is good to know that there are people who will move to make sure human life is taken care of. The news on TV is full of the response to these people and this situation.
