Three days of mourning



China has begun three days of national mourning for victims of last Monday's earthquake. As I write, it's reported that more than 71,000 are dead, buried or missing. Over 220,000 are injured.

The people of China have demonstrated incredible compassion and resolve. If anyone can be saved--and there are some miraculous survival tales emerging--I believe they will be saved. And in time, China will rebuild. But right now it is time to pay respect to those who have lost their lives.
