Ominous images show Kilauea’s destruction on Hawaii’s Big Island

The latest eruptions of Kilauea, the most active volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island, have rendered parts of a once-serene neighborhood on the island unrecognizable.

On April 30, the floor of a crater on top of the volcano collapsed, sending its pool of lava back underground and causing small earthquakes. Scientists predicted the magma would travel elsewhere and push its way back to the surface somewhere in the East Rift Zone. They were correct.

We took a walk on the floor of Kilauea two years ago.   A few months later, it started acting up.


My guess is that no one is taking that hike these days......







And that this little guy is no longer with us.....

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

It's hard to have much sympathy for those who'd live on the slopes of an active volcano. I have as much sympathy for them as I do for those who live in floodplains. It's a problem that is easy to avoid.
