A sad ending for Year 2004

Tsunami happened on Dec 26, 2004, Sunday, affecting Asia countries: MALAYSIA, Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Maldives, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and others.

I was just recovered from my headache yesterday and still have the festive mood on this Monday morning when I arrived at my office. I picked up the newspaper, and saw the big heading with big "TSUNAMI" word.

Ok...Just another disaster. Thank God, I am not affected, and then I left the newspaper aside.
Later, then I realised that the media is very concerned this, even it is on CNN.

Tsunami - not a new term to me as this have not happen near to me. Therefore, this tsunami is like NEVER happen before.

From the Book of Joel, it mentions in the beginning of the book, a natural disaster that NEVER happen before.(There are four waves of "locusts" come to attack the crop until all crops disappeared. It is a situation of complete hopelessness) It is talking about spiritual condition of Israel, the disaster is like a warning sign and wake up call for people to turn back to GOD. As goes the spiritual life so goes the physical.

As the year going to end, new hopes giving birth for the next coming year. However, it is just does not end well/quietly/peacefully.

People! Think!
