It's an odd sensation to be awaken because your bed is vibrating and the handles on your dresser are chattering against the wood. That's what happened around 5:30 this morning when we had a slight tremor, later discovered to be a result of an earthquake in Illinois. Brad looked at me and said, "Is our bed shaking?" I replied in the affirmative and in less then 10 seconds the whole thing was over.
I didn't think I'd experience such a thing in KY, but it's a good reminder of how powerful God is and how small I am. Nahum 1:5 "The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it."

I know we already talked about this, but yeah ... I felt it! I thought it was wind. Though it didn't occur to me at that moment how odd it would be that the wind would rattle the picture frames inside our house.
Apparently I can wake at a slight baby noise, but can sleep through an earthquake. I knew we were close to a fault line, but I've never experienced one. I reminded me of the "birth pains" in the NT. I've always thought real birth pains feel like an earthquake too.
