Washington Monument

The recent earthquake near Washington D.C. resulted in some damage to the iconic landmark, the Washington Monument.  Several cracks in the exterior masonry are visible and debris fell to the floor of the observation platform at the top.  I could not help but ponder the symbolism.   Our nation is cracking up too.  The monument can and will be repaired.  The damage to our nation is far more serious and unlike the monument, is getting worse by the hour.   We are experiencing a 24 hour per day earthquake.  Hold on and pray the shaking stops soon.
