5.8 earthquake shakes us pretty good- about 20-30 seconds of the house rolling - no damage though.
Quake was apparently felt from San Diego to Las Vegas.
Syd & Zach was at VBS at church... hope they did ok! It was their first one!
We'll pick them up in 2.5 hours.
A good reminder that we definitely should get more prepared for the eventual big one.
More later...

Great Quote!
It is not a matter of engaging in both the gospel and social action, as if Christian social action was something separate from the gospel itself. The gospel has to be demonstrated in word and deed. Biblically, the gospel includes the totality of all that is good news from God for all that is bad news in human life—in every sphere. So like Jesus, authentic Christian mission has included good news for the poor, compassion for the sick and suffering justice for the oppressed, liberation for the enslaved. The gospel of the Servant of God in the power of the Spirit of God addresses every area of human need and every area that has been broken and twisted by sin and evil. And the heart of the gospel, in all of these areas, is the cross of Christ.
