Lifting up my friends

Please join me in lifting up my friends, J, S, & L, in prayer. They live in a big city close to the epicenter of the earthquake in China, and I haven't heard from them yet if they are okay or not. I didn't realize until this morning, when I was reading an article about the earthquake and I saw the map of the area affected, that they were right in the thick of it. I am praying not only for their health and safety, but also for the health and safety of all the people there. I cannot even imagine what it is like to experience an earthquake and all of its devastation.
