A few days ago it seemed pretty astounding that the death toll from last week's tsunami could reach 40,000. The official number of confirmed dead is now 138,631. That doesn't include all the nameless fishermen who made their living around the islands of Indonesia - and their families.
I've heard the toll could even go as high as 500,000.
The people of South Asia could use whatever help we can offer. Many relief agencies say what they need most is cash.
I also offer up this prayer: Heavenly Father, I ask you to reach out those who have survived this horrible disaster. Give them their daily bread and a safe place to sleep. Help them get on their feet again. Give them hope in the face of despair. These things I pray in the name of your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
