Thanks Twitter for Yesterday.

Thanks Twitter for Yesterday.

Yesterday I arose early. Nothing new.

I walked the dog and sat down to collect my thoughts as is my custom most every morning. Well, as much as anyone can collect their thoughts with cats and dog fighting.

Sitting down to read my bit of Romans, I first checked my iPhone.

Weather and Twitter updates (you know).

I saw this tweet from Canadian Twitter friend @MistiPearl posted at 6:09 Saturday morning,

 “Major earthquakes have hit Haiti, Okinawa, and now Chile…Pray and listen to the Holy Spirit…The times are changing.”

Rats.

I hate it when that happens.

Then I started seeing a few tweets here and there about this 8.8 quake that hit Chile. 8.8 is rather large, isn’t it?

It’s hard to sit reading the 14 chapter of Romans when you keep thinking the apocolypse has begun. So I got up and checked Fox News and CNN. Darn, there had been this horrible thing.

The dog began wimpering.  I leashed him up and took him outside. Light began to outline Mrs. Hunter’s house. It was so clear, calm and peaceful.

The other side of the world, life would never be the same.

The earth ferociously opened and devoured.

Thanks Twitter.

Thanks for making me think about how Atlanta sits on the tip of a fault line. How my husband’s office is on the 19th floor of some high-rise. How I found myself praying that when the big quake hits the Southeast it is not in the middle of a workday.

Thanks Twitter.

Btw. I am really super, duper glad the tsunami was a dud. Right @daylilie222.
