the flood that was… traces of Ketsana’s wreck

An officemate emailed me these pictures, and i just want to share it here.

When do we responsibly act? until another one hits us?

but then again at the end of all these…

at a twilight of a passing storm.....

at a twilight of a passing storm.....

at the end of all these…

we recognize.. we must recognize our helplessness in the hands of the One who allows all these.

we humbly bow in prayer.. with peace.. with faith … that He has great reasons far than one could imagine.

we sit in our own silence… to ponder… to contemplate… what has this to teach us? … to survive another one.
