Thanks for coming! I plan to post a lot of interesting articles and comment on a wide range of things-- from political to religious, from private to public, from formal writing on public policy to snippets on random observations.
A 5.4-magnitude earthquake with an epicenter located 7 miles east of West Salem, Illinois.

First and foremost, I am saved by God's grace as manifested most clearly through the atoning death of Jesus Christ-- and thus, adopted into His family. As a result, I increasingly seek to extend His grace to others in my daily life. On the home front, I am a husband and father to four young men (two by adoption and two the more conventional way). Professionally, I am an economist who loves to teach and is active in public policy circles. Vocationally, I am an active writer and the author of three books (one on the book of Joshua; two on public policy-- one secular, one Christian). Finally, I am the co-author of a 21-month discipleship curriculum, Thoroughly Equipped (and a lighter 36-week version), for developing competent lay-leaders in the Church. Related to that work, Kurt and I have two books, Enough Horses in the Barn and Roll Up Your Sleeves.

It woke me up too. It felt like a strong jolt, similar to a sonic boom, that hit the apartment building, followed by a gentle but nervous sort of rattling. The shaking was more rapid than I would have expected (this was the first earthquake I've ever knowingly experienced).
Did you feel the aftershock in the late morning? It was weaker, a gentle shaking that felt slower than the first quake. This had an epicenter close to the first quake, with a magnitude of 4.5 (the first quake was 5.2).
No, I don't remember feeling the aftershock.
This morning, after the sense of wind lifting the roof, it sounded like someone was throwing something on the roof or at the house. So, I got up at that point and looked around for a cause!
