Whole lot of shakin...

Living in SOCAL is great!!! I honestly mean that, even though I never thought I would. It has grown on me (of course 70 degrees in the middle of winter helps). I love it for the mountains, the desert, the beach and the PEOPLE (some of the greatest as far as I am concerned).

However, the one thing I will never get used to is the earthquakes. Yesterday, there was a whole lot of shakin going on. At around 11:42 a 5.4 quake hit in Chino Hills (not too far as the crow flies). I was working on my computer when the ground began to rumble and then the jolt hit. Words cannot describe how an earthquake feels (you have to experience them to know). To me it is the most unnatural feeling in the world. The ground is not supposed to move, at least not where I grew up. I would love to say that I am getting used to them, but the truth is, I am not.

It just makes me realize how fragile this world truly is and that the really only firm foundation we have is found in a personal relationship with Christ.
