Sadly Christchurch has been struck by another severe earthquake just before 1pm on Tuesday the 22nd of February 2011. Even though this was a lesser magnitude on the richter scale than September 4ths 7.1, it was far more severe due to its proximity and depth.  Centered in Lyttelton, just 10kms from the city centre, at a depth of 5km, it was bound to cause mayhem.  As I write, we are into a second night.  Second night of no power, water, sewerage, shelter for many, and second night trapped in a building for many unaccounted for still.  There have been many miraculous escapes, but also many deaths.  No doubt as time continues there will be stories of triumph and stories of tragedy.  How do we respond to this?  There is much we can contribute in terms of practical help.  Thousands across the city are in need of the basic amenities for survival.  Many are devastated from loss and grief on every level.  As the 'hands and feet of Jesus', let's look for ways to love, and care for those in the most need.  Let's look at our neighbours, friends, family members and strangers to see how we can reach out to and show some human decency, compassion and care. Christ was compelled by love.  Let us follow his example in this needy time putting aside our own comfort and reaching out to those in more need.
