i don't know about everyone else, but my heart has been breaking for the china and myanmar victims these last 10 days. i've seen pictures of women holding their dead children and children who lost their parents just wandering in the streets with no one to care for them.

because of my sadness over this, i have organized a benefit concert for this saturday night. i know that you, my friends are not able to attend, because most of you don't live here. but if you wanted to donate, let me know. we are donating funds through an organization called Asia Hearbeat. this organization will wire the money to thailand where a doctor who is also a missionary to myanmar will carry it in by hand. none of the funds will go through the government.

please pray for these countries as they are experiencing total devastation.

k. so i've been feeling insecure in my job this semester. i lost a piano student in a way that was pretty hurtful and it's caused my boss to question my teaching on different levels. i miss everyone thinking i was a perfect teacher. i know it's better to grow, though. it's just hard.

otherwise life is good.
