please say a prayer for South Korea as 700 schools have been closed and the 3rd death has been reported.  So far 1600 people have been quarantined. Personally, my youngest daughter has fallen ill with flu like symptoms and I am worried because I have been told they are running out of the materials to test for mers. So please keep us in your prayers and everyone else in South Korea. 

For those of you who aren’t aware, there’s been an outbreak of MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) in South Korea. They’re quarantining people to keep the virus from spreading, because currently it has no vaccine, no cure, and a high fatality rate. Please send South Korea your prayers and good vibes.

“The US Geological Survey initially said the quake had a magnitude of 7.1 and struck 68km west of the town of Namche Bazar, close to Mount Everest. The quake was upgraded to a magnitude of 7.4 minutes later. Shockwaves were felt as far away as the Indian capital New Delhi.“

hey everyone! so there’s a small town near where i live in newfoundland, canada, and there’s a beautiful 11 year old boy named torrence collier. sadly, he is the only person of colour in his whole town, and therefore is a victim of extreme bullying and racism. every day he is called the n word, a rapist, a “mudslide”, and many other disgusting terms that nobody, especially not an innocent child, should ever be called. this bullying has gotten to the point where torrence says he doesn’t like himself, and he wonders if what they’re saying is true. an 11 year old boy is wondering if he’s a rapist, because he is black. every day he is escorted by teachers around the school so he doesn’t get attacked. this cannot continue to happen. newfoundland is often called the friendliest part of canada, and yet there are scumbags out there who are bullying this kid to death.

his family has set up a facebook page where you can like it and send him kind messages of support, and i would highly suggest that you all take a minute of your time to tell him that everything is going to be okay. i do not know this boy, but this story breaks my heart.

and if you want to know more, here is the article on cbc news about his story.

please, even a sentence or two can make this little boy smile.
