God is in control. He did it before and he can do it again. So unfortunate that we have so much ungrateful idiots on the island. We hear of and see the destruction elsewhere, life lost, and we bicker over a little light. Shame on us all. Shame, shame, shame. Thank God for his mercies. Prayers going out to our neighbors.
Very very carefully, just understand this, God is man made. We must all come together and help one another in good times and bad times. Stop fooling yourselves that its the will of God, there’s no such thing. This is life, planet earth has its various upheavals and its for us to understand and live around these circumstances as safely as possible. Most of all its to try our utmost to help everyone who is in distress and comfort them.
May god be with all people all over this country,in this man made disasters,will keep in prayer GOD BLESS our country
