“Rumbling returns to South Carolina as first earthquake of 2025 hits the Columbia area. South Carolina's first earthquake of the year was confirmed Wednesday morning. A 1.9 magnitude earthquake rumbled in the Midlands area, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.”

Sounded like it was in my front yard.

I'm not a blood is thicker than water guy and I've estranged myself from several family members (not my kids) several years ago that I didn't consider trustworthy. Yesterday and today I've received several phone calls from them trying to re-establish contact.  I no longer have reason to fear them as I no longer have disposable income and they know that.
I'm not sure what's going on but I know the Bible has things to say about family. Maybe I need to read a bit and figure it out. If anyone here can point me to biblical passages relating to that I'd appreciate it.

I'm struck by some of the comments on other sites about the California fires. Bleep those rich people, they can afford it, etc. Yeah, maybe the super rich are going to be ok, but it's still a major disruption in their lives. Not all the fire damage was to tony neighborhoods, many folks who live paycheck to paycheck have been destroyed as well. A couple of us here have big (to them) problems as well. From the recent earthquake in Nepal to the fires in California, they're all in need of prayers. Never let envy keep you from praying for people.
