The Earthquake Massage

This past Tuesday around 1:50 in the afternoon, I was just beginning to receive a massage at the Y. My massage lady is the best!! I always look forward to my hour of relaxation. M. had already masssaged my scalp and my shoulders and was working on my right arm when all of a sudden the room started moving. There was a big bang at first and M. and I thought that some he-man just outside the massage room door had dropped a very heavy weight. We are use to the weights being dropped, so no big deal. However, this time the room started swaying and shaking. We held onto each other and soon learned that it was an earthquake. The manager of the Wellness Center, banged on the door and said, "Get out, earthquake." Me,in just my undies, grabbed my shirt and capris and slipped on my sandals and M. and I were out the door in record time. We are thankful that the manager didn't frorget about us being in that little room. After about 20 minutes of standing outside while the building was inspected for structural damage and the debris cleaned up inside- fallen ceiling tiles and some twisted metal, it was back to the massage room for M. and me. We prayed together this time and thanked God for His protection. I kidded with M. that her massage was out of this world, that it was a very deep tissue massage!!! Needless to say, this is one massage I will never forget.
