It's crazy how I spend my time thinking about trivial things -- like what to bring for my lunch today, or which of my 32 tops I should wear today, when there are much bigger things happening in the world. If you are the praying type, keep these people in mind.
Indonesia: Hundreds of houses, offices, schools and other buildings collapsed in the city of Padang after a 7.6 magnitude quake struck West Sumatra.
Phillippines: Typhoon Ketsana and Typhoon Parma swept through the Philippine Islands, affecting nearly 3.9 million people.
Samoan Islands: The tsunami, which brought waves of up to six meters high, was triggered after a powerful earthquake.
Vietnam: Typhoon Ketsana is estimated to have affected around 300,000 people in Vietnam.
India: Over a million people have been forced to flee their homes and nearly 300 have died in devastating floods triggered by torrential rains in India.
