The devastation in Japan has really clutched my heart. Thank goodness to facebook and email I was able to get a hold of all my friends who are currently living there, and was relieved to find out that they were all alright. I pray that they remain safe, and that the friends and family they are waiting to hear from in the Sendai area are okay. If you have friends or family in Japan, my heart and prayers go out to you.

The newscasters are wearing helmets for safety.
