Study Guide

Quakes, fear and joy

As much as we try to create a life path that is smooth and steady, accidents occur, problems crop up, disease ravages, natural disasters strike, and on and on. It seems as if trouble is always around the corner. Kind of like an earthquake, which can happen anytime and without warning. But we know as people of faith that no matter what calamity befalls us, God is with us and helps us get our lives in order.
