On May 18, 1980 (31 years ago today) Mount St. Helens erupted.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  My family was having morning breakfast.  I heard a boom and our table started shaking.  When I looked at my juice glass, the orange juice inside was swishing back and forth.  Living near the Bellingham airport it wasn’t unusual to hear loud noises or for the house to shake while a large plane flew over head- but this was different.
My brother turned on the Seattle Mariners game (they were playing the White Sox in Chicago) and they showed a split-screen of the game on one side and a picture of Mount St. Helens with the side blown out and a billowing cloud of ash.
After breakfast, I was getting ready for church and all I could think about was a worship song I just learned based on Psalm 97:5 “In Your presence Lord, the mountains melt like wax…”  
I thought to myself over and over, “Wow, God you are so BIG and so AWESOME"!  Make God BIG and AWESOME in your life today!
