Earthquake

I woke up this morning to very depressing and upsetting news. Christchurch has been hit with another powerful earthquake which has decimated the central part of the city and left a large number of people injured or dead. This is on top of being subjected to continual aftershocks since the earthquake last September. As New Zealanders tend to just get on with life and solve their own problems they have not spoken out about how difficult it has been to live with after shocks and the probability that there may be another large earthquake. Now that it has happened there will be grief as well as more hardship and an uncertain future. Please stop for a minute and think about what life must be like for the people of Christchurch and all their families and friends who live in the rest of the country. Also please keep them in your prayers.
