They were not expecting it.......

A year ago the world watched the reports of a tsunami which had struck Indonesia. We saw the story unfold as initial reporting gave way to initial relief efforts. The scale of the devastation was slow in revealing itself but in the end over 200,000 people lost their lives and over 2 million were left homeless. I doubt if any of the 200,000 who lost their lives expected to die Dec 26th 2005 but they did nonetheless. A sober reminder to each of us.

"For man also does not know his time; as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them." Ecclesiastes 9:12
