A thought for our friends in Christchurch

Christchurch Cathedral

We ask our friends around the world to spare a moment for the people of Christchurch, New Zealand, following a second major earthquake, and want to share a message posted by Christchurch-native Blake Skjellerup:

The devastation is surreal, but we Cantabrians are like no other. We stand tall and we stand strong. We are one eyed and extremely proud of our city. Todays devastation saddens us all, but we love our city and will revive her back to her beautiful glory.

For those who want to help. Save your pennies and make that trip to New Zealand you have always wanted to do in a year from now. Christchurch is truly an amazing city. Today is its darkest day and my thoughts go out to those who have lost loved ones. Christchurch will need our love and care for years to come.
