Yesterday when I was Skyping with Meredith, she suddenly grew very quiet and looked up at the ceiling intently. I could tell something was wrong- she quit speaking mid-thought and sentence and her concentration on the lamp hanging over her head was chilling to behold.<\/p>\n

There is nothing that underscores our instability in this world like an earthquake.<\/p>\n
Or the death of someone you love.<\/p>\n
We are left feeling vulnerable.<\/p>\n

God is Sovereign.<\/p>\n
We are vulnerable and IN His control.<\/p>\n
