EARTHQUAKE!!

Well, I didn't feel it, but it happened! (Or at least that's what the news station said when they interrupted "Halloween Charlie Brown") Just north of San Jose (which is about 100 south of where I am writing this). A 5.5 on the Richter scale. I guess I'll have to keep waiting until I get to practice my "duck and cover" tecnique...oh wait, that's for when you're in the path of running lava!

Yes, it's been a while since I've last posted. Life's been a little crazy over here in the west. The biggest update on my life is that I'm moving! Yes, I just moved to Sacramento three months ago, but now I'm moving to a town in the wine country called Santa Rosa. It's a town of 150,000 people nestled in the wine producing hills of Sonoma county. It's an absolutely gorgeous area that's north of San Francisco 45 minutes and only 30 minutes from the ocean (1.5 hours from Sacramento). It's a great place to work, but it's a pain in the butt to move again. As of now, I'm living in an extended stay efficiency studio (motel with kitchen) during the week and go back to Sac on the weekend. Hopefully, I'll find a place to rent soon and can get moved over. The hardest part of life right now is that I don't know anybody! Especially now that I'm living in two places. But I'm trusting in God's sovereignty in relation to this transfer and that he's going to provide community for me.

Actually "duck and cover" is to be employed in the event of a nuclear attack, as promoted in 1950's era disaster-readiness films. It had nothing to do with approaching lava flows. I'm just sayin...
