Check out this blog post on God’s sovereignty and the tsunami in Japan from Pastor John Samson: Click here.
“Empathy flows not from the causes of pain, but the company of pain.”  – John Samson
Another great post is a prayer for Japan by Pastor John Piper: Click here.
“We know that if we were treated according to our sins, who could stand? All of it would be gone in a moment. So in this dark hour we turn against our sins, not against you. And we cry for mercy for Japan. Mercy, Father. Not for what they or we deserve. But mercy.”   – John Piper
Finally, my sis in Christ, good friend, and roommate, Monica Ziegler, has been planning on going to Utsunomyia, Japan with a team from USF with the Navigators ministry. She is currently selling bracelets for Japan and for her mission trip this summer. Let me know if you’re interested in buying a bracelet that will support the Red Cross efforts in Japan as well as Monica’s mission trip. You can check out her blog for more info. on her trip here: “Land of the Rising Sun” – Monica’s Blog.
