Starting a pool on how long it takes the Goremeister, or one of his minions, to claim Global warming caused it.
The link will soon be made to climate change [aka as global warming but the earth hasn’t been warming for 10 years.]
Pryers are up for the peple affected. I hope it is not too bad.
I lift them up to God and pray for the safety of all...
Yikes! Passing this on to my best friend.
His Japanese wife and his sons are on Honshu. They go there every summer to visit family when the boys are out of school.
Quake ping!
Prayers for safety to all the people in Japan and neighboring islands. I hope the ships are properly tethered to the piers.
