Definitely praying and awaiting word from a family member there.
i don't care
I live a life of service and penance. I was without guidance and when I found my calling, I became an alternative education teacher, where I have affected lives for 14 years. Recents, my husband and I have trained and began serving with a therapy dog and are beginning Dogspaws:Godshands a service based ministery that is nondenomnational and focused on service for your fellow man without doing anything other than serving others.

Good article, Lynne. The terrifying slideshow was excellent. Thanks for not making this an opportunity to proselytise; it means a lot. I am praying for these people.
Looking to hear some word from my sister Paulette and her husband Lester Mortimer who is visiting from the Bahamas. I am praying for everyone in China.
I am an atheist and I have spent my life serving the poor...Aren'y you being a tad bit elitist asking a Christian god to pray for China? Sorry "your god" is too busy here in the USA fighting against innocent people such as pregnant women and gays...
I love the Chinese people and all of the world becasue they are human beings.
Also in your first pargraph the plural of Christian is Chritians unless you consider yourselves to be one big blob of anonymity anymore.
get over yourselves.
wow...an earthquake hits China killing hundreds and all you can show is anger? May your heart find air before you suffocate of bittnerness.
Boy Are you Wrong about A Christian God .. for one thing use a Capitol in HIs sight. I don't care if your a CVhristian or not I LOve people too all Creeds. We help as much as we can. Remember it is not God But the Goverment about USA and they don't get it right. It is the end time and if you would read God's Word Last Book of it you will see Why all is going on. Sorry you don't want to be in the next Life forever.Sorry to hear that.
it's lynda! not lynn! sily
Shouldn't you play nicely if you believe in God? Asssuming you are a Christian, saying something like "wow...an earthquake hits China killing hundreds and all you can show is anger? May your heart find air before you suffocate of bittnerness." isn't going to get you rights to heaven. lol. I don't believe in God, but I was put in Bible school by my parents and not once did I read anything in the bible pertaining to hating on others for not sharing the same faith. We actually had a whole segment of how there are all sorts of people in the world and you need to accpet them all. Shame on you. If God would be looking over you I bet he would be disgusted by your behavior. If you aren't an athiest, shouldn't you be making sure you are a better verision of yourself so you don't burn in the infernal fires of hell? Ignorance is not going to get you anywhere.
i dont belive in god but all ur doing is asking him to either save your self or help china. All your doing is asking you have to do something to
Isnt it a sign that the world is caming to an end
every where you see there are people dying for some reasons
death is increasing more than births
there is only one God and that is not christ but ALLAH
christ is a massenger of allah
