Just another day? Mother's day + one

I thought it was some sort of April Fool's joke when I opened up Drudge this morning and saw 7.9 on the Richter scale in the heart of China. Then I realized it was May. Other tidbits:

-- China's earthquake with over 10,000 dead at this time.
-- Vlad Putin all the rage as the overwhelming Prime Minister of Russia.
-- 665 tornadoes already this season (highest since 1998) and 22 dead this past weekend.
-- Up to 1,000,000 dead from the cyclone in Myanmar as disease and starvation takes over.

I pray that God would quiet the earth. I pray more that the peoples of the earth would quiet themselves and humble themselves before their Creator.
