time. After all, the beautiful transplant from Texas is no city-slicker and knows her way around the barn. Tornados? Hurricanes? Never scared the Lone Star gal. But, a North San Diego County earthquake?
Well now, that’s a whole different kettle of fish for McKaley, who had just moved to our Southern California region.
In her young lifetime, she was never more petrified than in North San Diego County. The normally-fearless Texas native, said on Twitter: “I literally thought a ghost was pushing my bed, but thanks to Twitter, I now know it was just an earthquake. I’ve never been so scared!”
But the young actress was not the only celebrity to get rattled by the San Diego County shaker. The legendary film and television icon and legendary 12-time World Champion skateboarder, Tony Hawk (native of Carlsbad), felt the earth move under his immortal feet, also – and it was no out-of-control skateboard under him, either! The North County resident said on Twitter: “Earthquake?! It felt like a bus hit our house!!” CONCLUSION: IS NORTH SAN

DIEGO COUNTY PREPARED? According to various U.S. earthquake geologists: “Nearly 200 Southern California cities are unprepared for ‘the Big One.’”
One famed geoscientist gives this testimonial: “That the big earthquake is coming is so likely now that I think that we should start behaving as if we know for sure -so that serious precautions can be taken and emergency plans put into place to help save human lives in the face of natural disaster. “Because, if we do not take these precautions and it happens . . . then, such non-action would prove to be unforgivable in the face of human history.”
Is North San Diego County prepared? I pray to the Almighty that we are.
The Pastor Says... you care?”.
He immediately rebuked the waves and said “Peace, be still.” He had dealt with the crisis and then turned to the disciples and asked two questions: Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith? Pastor Sam Brumit Mission 316, San Marcos

One time Jesus set out with the disciples in a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus was asleep in the boat. Suddenly with no warning, a storm arose and the boat took a beating. In the emergency, Jesus’ followers ran over to Jesus and asked Him “Don’t

Meet Hermione! Pigs make wonderful pets, and they require a lot of consideration. Before adopting it is important to confirm with your city that your property is properly zoned for housing a pig. Pigs also require a large outdoor space, appropriately fenced with pig-proof paneling and containing access to a predator proofed indoor shelter area. Pigs are incredibly social and thrive with other piggy friends. They can bond to other animals and they form very close relationships with humans. However, no one can provide the comfort of having a member of your same species. Most pigs are food motivated and enjoy the mental stimulation of positive reinforcement training, just like dogs! Hermione specifically has shown us her gentle and friendly nature. She’s very food motivated and especially loves her peanut butter and veggies! Hermione is available for adoption at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3500 Burnet Drive. To learn more about making her part of your family, please visit sdhumane.org/adopt or call 619-2997012. Online profile: https://adopt.adopets.com/pet/f881a 74e-b59e-4e63-884e-45e5191cf6f1
Difficult times can lead us to a place where we lose faith and forget that the Lord is in the boat with us. We put our eyes on the waves and forget His power. To get through a storm, remember the faithfulness of God in your life. Trust Him in the midst of circumstances. How is your faith in these stormy times? •••••
Mission 316 Church exists to help people get to know God through people. If you have needs in your life and would like to find hope, feel free to join us on Sundays at 10:00 AM at the San Marcos Community Center (located at 3 Civic Center Drive in San Marcos CA – right across from the library).
