I Feel The Earth Move - Take 2

As I'm sure everyone has heard, Japan had another earthquake today - about four hours ago. With continued aftershocks, we wandered around our neighborhood for most of the afternoon and evening. The streets are much more crowded than normal with masses of people walking home since the subway is shut down.

It looks like the tsunami that followed the 8.9 quake was pretty devastating for many Japanese coastal towns, and there are alerts for much of the Pacific. I really hope everyone is able to recover quickly and with ease.

We are so glad that you and Jody are safe and we will pray that you stay that way. I've always liked that song too and will be thinking of you while I am singing it today. Gotta love those '70's songwriters ;).

We love your blogs, but not as much as we love you. Be safe!

You were the first thing on many minds this morning. We are so glad that you are well and safe. It was something to watch the waves as they hit Hawaii!
