Today I am sitting here thinking of the people in Christchurch, New Zealand. They suffered a devastating earthquake yesterday with many people killed. We were there this fall. A beautiful city that was still coping with the aftermath of the previous earthquake. The recent one was very bad because it was centered right on the city. One of the news photos I saw was of the cathedral which was severely damaged and the spire toppled. This is how it looked when we saw it. It was a beautifiul place. There was a service going on inside which was for one of the local schools. The well scrubbed and uniformed children looked great. We talked to one youngster and had a delightful conversation with her. Ginny and I have Christchurch in our hearts and prayers today.

Very moving, and sad story.
A beautiful building always seems indestructable.
