HALF A MILLION? ARE YOU SERIOUS?
If, as the headline on Drudge today proclaims, yesterday's earthquake in Haiti claimed 500,000 lives, it will be the deadliest earthquake since the mid-1500's in China. And even if that initial estimate is high--and it probably is; remember how we thought tens of thousands had perished on 9/11?--it will certainly rate among the great calamities of world history. Holy cow. Thinking of them. Praying for them. Giving to them. The good news, if any, is that in the wake of this disaster our saddened hearts will be warmed by stories of caring outreach by people from across the world. Perhaps a handful of miraculous survivals, too, will loan some hope in our hour of grief.
