when will it stop?

im a little late in posting about ths but didn't want the topic to go unrecognized. the south asia earthquake that hit on saturday, oct. 8th has left as many as 3 million people homeless and the death toll has already surpassed 20,000 and keeps on rising. most reports estimate the end number will be over 40,000 and one article i read predicted it as high as 80,000. you can only hope and pray that they will be proved wrong. regardless, these are numbers i cant even really process. to have that many people killed instantly is just unimaginable and utterly devastating. and ive said before how its easy to disconnect yourself from the problem when its on the other side of the world and not directly affecting you. but no matter how far away i hope that you keep these people in your prayers. these people might not be americans and they might not be coming into our cities for shelter and food but they're still people...with families...and homes...and lives that have been turned upside down and we shouldnt forget that.
