Puerto Rico shook this morning

Folks, my native Puerto Rico suffered and earthquake this morning, 5.7 in the Richter Scale. The epicenter was located on the northwestern corner of the island. Damage was minimal but everyone got a good scare.

Puerto Rico is undergoing some social upheaval too, spearheaded by state university students in strike. Every 3 or 4 years they go on strike, “to make a difference” or something like that. It’s a rite of passage for the strike leaders of today are to be the “vanguard politicians” of tomorrow. It’s all a good show that gains little for all involved while the general peace is disturbed.

If you find it in your heart, say a prayer or two for Puerto Rico. We are a nation of spoil-rotten ingrates in need of conversion.We needed this shakeup to remind us. I hope the churches be filled today in response. Sackcloth and ashes, that’s what we need.
