Earthquake, Tsnuami and Japan

My heart has gone out to the people of Japan. It's been tough to see the widespread devastation and destruction. And most recently the radiation threat. I heard a news commentator say that the USA has certainly been very fortunate not to have this happen here. I heard another say we have been blessed. When I think about the word "blessed" I can't help but think about God's favor.  Let's face it, we live in a fallen world that is slowly and methodically heading for it's collision date with God. Yes, we are blessed that we have avoided what has happened in Japan. I hope and pray that if that kind of calamity ever comes to this shore, that we will have the faith and trust in God to see us through. Carpe Diem.
