Wheee, now an 8.5 off Sumatra off Maylaysia.
There's a group of Wycliff translators on an island off Maylaysia's peninsula. I don't know which side of the peninsula. Prayers for them.
Though at 8 miles deep--maybe there hasn't been a Tsunami.
Given this one at 8.5 and the one very recently between New Zealand and Antarctica . . .
IF we have another 8.+ within the next week or so, I will take that as a big clue that God has racheted things up another notch or 3. . . . and that indeed, the new year will be much more interesting than the last one in a number of respects.
