A "WAKE UP" CALL?

Utter devastation, disbelief, horrific, tragic, all words from one who is only able to watch the pictures streaming out of Japan and feeling tremendous heartbreak. The world's leaders, the United Nations, must all come together, now, as one unit, laying aside their own personal private agendas and embrace this Planet's "oneness." It is evident that these horrendous acts are tearing people and countries apart. We need a strong glue to keep us all together. That is why we need prayer right here, right now. And on a global scale. If what just happened to Japan does not provide a "prompting" to all of us, then I believe we need to have our heads examined. Petty things such as grievances, anger, hostility, what's yours is mine, etc., all fade into nothingness when viewed through the prism of a global cataclysm. The Ring of Fire is unzipping. Another of Indonesia's volcanoes just erupted; Yellowstone has within it a caldera that, according to scientists, is lagging behind (it's overdue for blowing its top); remember New Zealand's earthquake just a few weeks ago? And how can we forget Chile? I remember reading somewhere just recently that some type of hole has opened up in Central America and the people can see fire coming out of it. Then we have the biblical flooding in Australia. Can we expect more of the same? My prediction...YES. Countries are running short of resources and money to handle these acts of nature. But what about our spiritual resources? I believe we haven't even begun to tap them yet. But, we are being pushed, even propelled, more and more, in that direction. How many more G-d "knocks" on the head do we need? Will we humans continue to ignore the message coming straight at us until we are left with only one more wake up call? Or will we be able to rise above our evil inclination and realize that if we do not heed the warning, that the next picture we see will be that of our own demise. It is up to us.
