OMG! I just woke to this news via clock radio. Seems the whole coastal world is under a tsunami warning.
May the Lord have mercy on and preserve everyone who is in danger!

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

May the Lord help all the people and their animals, especially those alone just now. May the Lord help those working to assist others, and please may the nuclear power station be shut down safely.

News: Mitch sent a note saying that he was okay, but that the violent shaking was awful. He is an American Orthodox Christian living in Japan.
He asks for prayers for Japanese Orthodox Christians, their churches, and their cathedrals.
Lord have mercy on the Japanese people and save them.

They are fearing that there may be a huge nuclear meltdown due to the damage done from the earthquake.
I am in Washington and we received tsunami warnings in Seattle.
