I check facebook nearly every morning as I make my breakfast. I'm an early riser and my kids are night owls. So sometimes I can catch them online and chat for a few minutes before they head to bed. Yesterday, though, I found messages from friends living and vacationing along the Pacific coast. Some of them reported a terrible earthquake and aftershocks. Others had been evacuated ahead of expected tsunami waves. I made these two rosebud blocks while listening to news coverage of the disaster. When something like this happens, a natural first response is a feeling of helplessness. But there are some things I can do. I can donate to a reliable charity that will send help to the affected areas. I can give blood. In fact, I have an appointment to do so later this month. And I can pray for the victims and their families.
