Strong earthquake rocks Haiti, killing hundreds: The magnitude, 7.2 earthquake severely damaged many cities, burying people in the rubble of the collapsed buildings. It was more powerful than the 2010 quake, which killed more than 220,000 people. The 2010 earthquake was a 7.1 magnitude.

"How long will you dwell in Lo-de-bar?" We have all lived in a "Lo-de-bar" condition sometime or other in our life. “Lo-de-bar” means "without pasture" or a dry desert place. "Lo-de-bar" is only mentioned twice in the Bible. But, the most famous story of this place concerns the grandson of Saul, "Mephibosheth." When David and Jonathan, the son...
