Hell On Earth

The world is changing and it is for the worse ( Could be a way mother nature is "resetting" the world). Recession is on everyone's mind these days and the weather is just a filler in a conversation. Many jobs are lost, but for those who lost their jobs they still have a roof under them. That cannot be said for the Australians who have lost not only loved ones but also their homes and livelihood to the recent bushfires. The worst is the history of Australia where the state of Victoria suffered the most!

I lived in Victoria and still live there on and off, and summer in Melbourne can be a bitch hitting up to 40 odd degrees. But this time around it went up to 47 degrees almost 50! That is crazy!! I am glad that my area is not hit by the bushfire as most of them are inland and at the national parks where mostly small towns are hit! I cannot imagine what it is like to be caught in a disaster like this where one is literally watching their home burn down to nothing, where the fires are chasing them and destroying everything in sight!

I am just saddened by the disaster and wish that I can do something to help my adopted state.

For those who are in Australia , you can help by donating to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009.

Let us pray that this Hell On Earth will end soon.
