Ron Crow: A Woman’s Joy in the Earthquake

During an earthquake some years ago, the inhabitants of a small village were generally very much alarmed, but they were at the same time surprised at the calmness and apparent joy of an old woman whom they all knew. At length, one of them addressing the old woman said, “Mother, are you not afraid?” “No,” said the woman, “I rejoice to know that I have a God who can shake the world.” (Ron Crow - Sermon Central).
