Of calamities and catastrophes … and Who’s in charge?
First, Myanmar.
Now, China.
What’s worse is the China calamity is happening in the giant panda country of Wolong. My adopted panda is there. I wonder how she is. There’s been no news from Wolong. Communications lines are down. Landslides have blocked the road to Wolong.
At times like this, I have only one recourse. Trust in God. He’s in charge. What’s happened has happened. Just trust Him. Keep the faith. If I don’t, I will go mad.
Update at 2:50 a.m.
Anita in Shanghai has been chatting with the vet in Bifengxia, a sister centre to Wolong, and learned that someone got through from Wolong to say that no buildings collapsed there, and that there’s nothing very much wrong there (her words).
Thank You, Lord! Now I will sleep easier tonight, altho I might have panda eyes in the morning.
