Earthquake!


Did you feel it? Did you rock n' roll this morning?
I was in my office and LaRae was out in the main office working on the church library. She has built shelves for it and it has turned into quite a project. Well, I thought maybe she was now shaking my office wall with the force of her hammer. Next I thought she was funnelling under the floor for a possible new entry way. But when all the walls started to shake, I just knew she'd rented a crane and a wrecking ball was about to come through the window.

The Associate Press reported the following: "The magnitude-5.4 jolt struck at 11:42 a.m. Tuesday and was felt from Los Angeles south to San Diego, and as far east as Las Vegas. The quake — considered moderate — was centered 29 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles near the city of Chino Hills."

This was Jennifer's first earthquake since living in California. She was quite excited afterward. Almost a little hyper. In fact, I have the feeling that she'd like to feel another one. She's used to living in Oklahoma and Kansas where the winds go sweeping down the plain -and sometimes take you with it. But, once you feel an earthquake, you really know that you're not in Kansas anymore.
