Fresh footage of huge tsunami waves smashing town in Japan

As survivors of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami grappled with the enormity of the devastation, more footage emerged on Sunday showing the moment the tsunami struck Japan's northeast coast. Residents of the port town of Kamaishi in Iwate prefecture watched in horror as the first huge tsunami waves hit, sweeping away cars and buildings. One group managed to scramble to safety on higher ground, where they watched as the water surged towards them. Others were stranded on the roof of a multi-storey building as the water level rose rapidly below.

dont wait till its to late for you, Jesus is the only way to get saved! open your heart because you are very pridefull, humble yourself before God . dont let those video games destroy you, its not about a church , its about a relationship with the LORD!

[2011yourlife]

why do you say these things to someone who loves you very much and only wants the best for you? will you say these things to your own family who love you also? did something happen to you in your life that you are blaming God for? Jesus has done nothing to you for you to act this way, the only one who acts like this is the devil, dont you understand that hell is a real place, and there are many people down there who had wished that they would have repented of there sins when they were alive,
