Rather than putting out new blog-posts, I have been updating my original post as significant information becomes available. Please go there. Thanks for ongoing thoughts and prayers.

Many, of course, are profoundly affected as their houses are no longer habitable, or their business is closed, and possibly may not open again…
I am so relieved to have heard from our many Ch’ch friends and to know they are okay. I’m now worrying about the Cathedral and the new cracks found in it. My heart is with all of you, even though I am so far away.
