Japanese Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami

The recent earthquake in Japan and the tsunami that swept across the Pacific Ocean have taken thousands of lives and destroyed the homes and livelihoods of countless individuals. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Japan in this time of dire need.
