Lava flows from Hawaii, USA volcano as earthquake strikes Indonesia. On Saturday, August 6,
scientists at the US Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory announced that volcanic
activity had slowed following Wednesday's collapse of the crater floor and lava lake
within the Puʻu ʻŌʻō cone of the Kīlauea volcano. The spilling of new lava, while not
requiring any evacuations, had prompted the closure of part of Hawaii Volcanoes National
Park. Also on Saturday in Indonesia, a magnitude-5.7 temblor struck also off the coast of southern
Sumatra, 160 kilometers northwest of Bengkulu. Fortunately, neither of these events resulted
in casualties or significant damage.
With gratefulness for Heaven’s protection of those in the affected regions, we pray
that such potential calamities are eased through humanity's greater consideration for all beings
as a vegan world�
