Good morning, blog readers, from clear and cold (-4 degrees) Wisconsin where, on my morning walk in the cold which was cut in half because of the cold, I did not see any of God’s creatures but, under clear skies, did see a plane! Thank You, Jesus, for keeping me warm in the cold!
As many of you who have been following my blog know, I have been charting earthquakes for over 20 years. And, every once in a while, I point out a quake in an area where I have never heard of one before which brings me to Millinocket, Maine (population: 4,466, as of 2023) where, over the last 24 hours, there was a “very minor” (2.5) earthquake.
Before my wife and I moved to Wisconsin, we lived in Bangor, Maine where I went to Seminary and served as a Community Chaplain for the Old Capehart section of Bangor for 3 and 1/2 years and as a hospital chaplain at the Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor. And, in case you were wondering, over the last 24 hours, there were: 15 “minor” (2.0-2.5) quakes in Alaska (6), California (4), Hawaii (2), and one each in Kansas, Maine and Texas. Thank You, Jesus!
As you may or may not know, I have been studying earthquakes for over 20 years because Jesus said, in Matthew 24:7, Mark 13:8 and Luke 21:11 that, one of the “signs” leading up to His return would be “earthquakes in various places.” He also told HIs disciples, in Mark 13:33, 35, 37) to “stay on the alert” (Mark 13:33, 35, 37). So, let us keep watching, waiting, working, witnessing for, walking with and worshiping Jesus until He comes. Love in Christ, Doug (2/17/25
