Did you feel it? U mih get fryten? Gial me nayly sh.... mih pants. Me noh feel nuthin.

The myth that Belize was not in the earthquake "belt" was shattered that Thursday when when most Belizeans felt a shake that had none of their favorite flavor. So unaccustomed to seismic events many felt deep within that Armageddon was finally setting in. And what makes that so frightening is that maybe we were not ready for that final "last day." It was not supposed to happen May 28; what is so special about that day?

We were supposed to be told ONE more time that we ought to be GOOD.

We were supposed to be given the millionth chance to repent.

Why did not one tell us an earthquake was coming? We needed to buy our bottles of water and potted meat.

This phenomenon raised many questions on our preparation for the next day. It shone light on the reality that all our worldly preparations for degrees and beauty and riches will all be meaningless without that last call to the creator.

Many of us are still reeling after the event. Stop reeling and let's prepare ourselves for the real one.

My apologies for the huge break in the blogs... needed it.

See ya next time
