Tuesday evening, and the news is just coming through that another earthquake has devastated Christchurch, the most serious of the quakes to have hit in the past 6 months. Live reports show collapsed buildings crushed cars, and rubble in the streets, often with tangled construction fences delineating safe from unsafe where recovery work was underway now separating one disaster from another. Street names and sections that we see look and sound eerily familiar. Mercifully, our friends there respond that they are safe, but many have suffered terrible material losses. Please pray for healing and restoration.
