Shaken

So we're sitting at the office yesterday, and the building starts to vibrate.  I'm rocking gently in my chair.  My co-worker feels the extra heavy fire safe filing cabinets sway.  We're looking at each other in bewilderment.  What in the world is going on?  Did a massive truck just drive by?  Were the shop guys pounding something extra vigorously?  Did a low flying plane just go overhead?

 

Now for those of you who have experienced that kind of earth shaking movement before, it probably was no big deal.  But to us here on the east coast, this is not a normal occurrence.  The funniest part was that we hopped online right away to check the news stations to see what had happened, and there wasn't anything being reported at that point.  What we really should have done was gone straight to the world of Facebook.  I've never seen so many comments populating my wall so quickly!  Technology in this information age...you have to love it!  Who needs news reporters when you have Facebook?!  :-)  Actually though, it was bordering on being a touch overkill.

 

This little earthquake got so much attention, and we weren't even near the center of it.  By far, this was the best comment I read from one of my friends:  So much #twitter fuss over a 6.0. Makes me wonder what will happen when Jesus comes. 
I wonder the same thing...

Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
