The bushfires in Victoria have claimed 181 lives to date. Searches for more deceased are continuing in outer reaches as conditions become safe. The tragedy has brought shock and horror far and wide.

The effort is mammoth.
It's heartening to watch.
Makes me feel proud to be Australian.

My family's prayers go out to all the victims' families, the emergency workers, volunteers and anyone else who has been affected by the horrific tragedy of the recent brushfires in Victoria, including you, Diane. I can see that this has touched your heart deeply, just as any tragedy within my country touches me. In fact, Australia is one of our closest and dearest friends and allies, and when something like this happens to Australia, our precious, sister country, we mourn deeply, too. God bless all of you...our hearts are joined in prayer with yours.
