I predict thousands of church youth groups will descend upon north-central Virginia and restore many chairs (and tables!) to their upright positions in the next year.
Don’t miss the Twitter earthquake humor. A sample:
“Obama Administration announces earthquake came from a little know geological structure, the Bush Fault. USGS to make official name ‘Bush’s Fault Earthquake’.”
This made the rounds on FB yesterday — especially among those of us from the left coast.
Seriously, though, that was a legitimate earthquake, especially for the east coast and its thousands of old unreinforced masonry structures. Fortunately, the epicenter was in a rural area or it would have caused significant damage, as the 1987 Whittier earthquake (5.9 Richter scale) did in downtown Whittier.
Lucas Cranach was the great artist of the Reformation. He was a close friend of Martin Luther. He was a businessman, who first printed Luther's translation of the Bible; a politician, who served on the Wittenberg town council and served the city as its mayor; a chemist, who operated a pharmacy; a teacher, who trained a host of apprentice artists; a family-man, who helped arrange Luther's marriage with the two men serving as the godfathers of each other's children; and an active layman in his church, who gave his pastors important personal and material support.
As a Christian who lived out his faith in his many different callings, Cranach thus embodies the Reformation doctrine of vocation, using the gifts God had given him in service to Christ and his neighbor in the church, the family, the workplace, and the culture.
In the spirit of Lucas Cranach, this blog will discuss wide-ranging issues of Christianity and culture with a Lutheran twist.

I will help you rebuild.
Walmart will be having an earthquake sale. You can replace the chair.
In these tough times it might be more prudent to just stand it back up.
I know that will not create any new jobs, however.
You’re right, Bob. Toss it and buy another one.
Tape the scene off, get samples. Earthquake my foot! Looks like someone was cheating at the poker game.

Nice one, Rose!

Earthquake was a result of Chris Christie jumping into the presidential race
Here I thought the earthquake was from the debt collapsing!
The left coast is bankrupt and can’t afford to produce any more earthquakes. So the right coast needs to pick up the slack.
