Earthquake in China

From the Associated Press:

CHENGDU, China - One of the worst earthquakes to hit China in three decades killed nearly 9,000 12,000 people Monday, trapped about 900 students under the rubble of their school and caused a toxic chemical leak, state media reported.

The 7.9-magnitude earthquake devastated a hilly region of small cities and towns in central China. The official Xinhua News Agency said 8,533 people died in Sichuan province and more than 200 others were killed in three other provinces and the mega-city of Chongqing.

Lord, have mercy.

Send help and deliverance to our brothers and sisters in China.

    I simply feel numb - but must continue to pray.
