Mexico City and environs, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean . . . so many disastrous events in the past month. Our prayers go up for all of you. Wherever you are, we support you.
Thomas, I just want to thank you for sharing this photo. Being a Silicon Valley native, I appreciate all San Francisco photos. Let alone this amazing photo of San Francisco taken shortly after the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
What a wonderful photo!

So sorry you feel so helpless that prayers are meaningless to you. Prayers are a conduit to the Almighty God and His provenance.
