What is happening to Mother Earth... dear Father Lord?

As Bel San Luis says in his column at Manila Bulletin:

"If it's any consolation to Filipinos, our casualties of over 400 is nothing compared to over 4000 in Sumatra and still counting..

In India, a 5 day continous rain killed 230 and 2 million were rendered homeless.

Lord, what's happening to planet earth?"

....

I'm not really complaining, it may really be humanity's fault of not taking care and doing its fair share of helping the environment..

But still, I'd like to thank you for bringing out the humility in each of us... that despite the material richness.. you make us remember that nothing in this earth is permanent..

so we may live each day as if it is our last....

I still fail to live that mantra. But being human is not an excuse in failing to live up to Your expectations, so I try again, stand up, dust myself up and, live according to thy word.. and i hope others will gather up the bits and pieces and start again.. and im sure we will always remember that...

God, you are the boss...

Be it done according to thy word.
