Earthquake

Most of you have probably heard about the massive earthquake yesterday here in China. The epicenter was in Sichuan province in southwestern China. Please pray for the people of Sichuan, it is a very mountainous and poor area and it has been difficult for rescue workers to reach some of the hard hit areas.
The quake was 950 miles from Beijing. Kara and I were out having lunch at a first floor restaurant when it happened and we didn't feel anything but most of my coworkers felt their buildings sway or felt dizzy from it. That's like an earthquake happening in Dallas, Texas and us feeling it in Minneapolis.

Glad you hear you guys are okay! Sounds like a tough situation in the poorer areas. We'll keep those people in our prayers.
