\"Earthquake<\/a>Image by sevenblock<\/a> via Flickr<\/span><\/p>\n

Earthquakes come suddenly and without warning. Scientists with all of their sophisticated equipment still can\u2019t predict when<\/em> one will occur. They only know that earthquakes will hit at some point but they can\u2019t say when. A couple of big California earthquakes reminded us of this fact last week.
<\/a>
And like earthquakes, so is life. \u201cLife happens<\/em>.\u201d We can expect to have our fair share of pain and anguish because that\u2019s just part of the equation. But the real issue is timing. We have no idea when we\u2019ll get hit.<\/p>\n

We see the fault lines in our homes and in our lives. They exist in the workplace too. They are often fragile, precarious and prone to rupture than in other parts of our lives. So our faith and hope must remain steadfast in God while we plan in earnest for the inevitable disruption resulting from life\u2019s seismic events.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a distant rumble that may soon shake your life. Are you ready?
