My prayers are uplifted for my native Japan. 

It's such a strange feeling being here right now, while chaos is happening across the world.

Today in chapel, I was reminded of the power of prayer. 

And how, the greatest thing we can do from our livingrooms across the globe in Southern California,

 is to PRAY. 

But my heart is aching, for I feel just the smallest fraction of the fear those people must be feeling right now. Japan, and the rest of the world in fear, I am praying that through this God is whom we look to first, and that above all He is glorified through this disaster.  

I love you Japan.
