Thinking of those in Christchurch, New Zealand...

..and thankful my brother and his family weren't there at the time. They were supposed to go to Christchurch the next day...for business...right there in downtown. I'm thankful...very thankful...that their business was the day AFTER the big quake and that they were safe at home in Blenheim at the time. We talked to my brother via Skype (do any of you use Skype?...it's wonderful to actually talk with and see someone half way across the world) last night, and the news of the devastation was disturbing. My heart and prayers certainly go out to those who have been affected by this.
