100 Verse Challenge - Week 8

Verse 1: 
For the Word of God is living and effective and sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as to divide soul, spirit, joints and marrow; it is a judge of the ideas and thoughts of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12Verse 2: 
Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.
Hebrews 4:16

See NE Japan coming back to life!

These are comprehensive photos of the restoration of NE Japan. Town by town, three photos show the area at the time of or right after the tsunami (March), three months later (June) and 6 months afterward (September). Not only have they been cleared of mountains of wreckage and debris but grass is growing again!

The Japanese are an amazing people. They certainly set the bar for initiative and industry in recovering from a disaster!
