It’s Easter Sunday! God bless everyone!
Today Matt went to DC to get the pallets from the moving place and put them in storage. I dropped him off at the airport at 11 and about 15 minutes after getting back to the house I hear mom calling me. Matt needs me to come back because they found his grandfather’s pocketknife in his backpack. So back to the airport I went. Sucks that he had to go through security twice, but I think it was worth not giving up the knife. The terrorists really did win.
I just studied the rest of the afternoon in the sun. Suddenly, the ground started shaking. After living in Alaska for 11 years I’m not shocked when this happens. What did surprise me is that the intensity kept increasing. I sat there for probably 10-15 seconds then decided to make a run for the house. Mom and dad were running for the door out of the house. It went on for about 5 more seconds while we stood by the pool which was nearly sloshing water over the sides. We later found out that it was a 7.2 earthquake that originated in Mexico. It was the strongest one I’ve been in since the one in Kodiak in 2000. As bad as it was nothing even fell off the walls or shelves. A friend in San Diego posted this verse and I thought it was pretty appropriate: Mathew 28:2: There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.” vs6 and 7, the most important part: “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come see the place where He was lying. Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead…”
I found a few recipes. Maybe I’m inspired by the weather here, but at least three of them (there was 4, but I was afraid that was massive overkill) that are mediterranean. Good thing my parents like that type of food!
(There's no picture because I can't get one to load with this weak signal. Boo hiss.)
