What devistating news !

 

What a power that the sea has . The news thinks over 10000 dead

 

 

Yes it truly is devastating. I am counting my blessings because James and Maria where in Phuket just a few weeks ago.

 

They are very lucky to that they had the booking for their holiday when they did or they could have been amongst the carnage....

 

 

THANKYOU GOD

What luck to get out just in time

This is horrific news and my uncle is in thailand getting married, weve not heard anything from him since he went out there last monday, but we have our finf=gers crossed, also ive just found out today that an old friend of mine and his girlfriend went to phuket last week also , i just hope everything is going to be ok.

I bet time is dragging for you now

I must admit this is my thinking as well now - how can any God let this happen - unless its punishment for all the wars etc we have - I guess even God can say 'f^ck it'

Obviously, when nature takes it it's toll, you do not have any part of control in it what-so-ever. You can't stop it, nor can you change it. And yes, I do agree, that is there was a god, then these type things wouldn't happen / would be more controlled and more lives saved. In fact, no lives would be lost. But I can see where the defualt phrase 'Thank God' is used. Totally.

 

No point in being sarcastic about it. Really.
