Good Friday

Today is Good Friday and this is my first post. A good time for reflection and a good time to think about the needs of others.

My heart goes out to the earthquake victims in Abbruzzo Italy. The beautiful city of L'Aquila which I have visited many times has now been destroyed.

Imagine nearly 300 dead and anywhere from 20,000 to 30,000 homeless. I have made several calls to Italy and may share the details with you later.

In the meantime a quiet thought or prayer for all those affected would seem appropriate.
