The East Coast earthquake has not claimed any lives as of yet, but it has taken its toll on a prominent Washington, D.C. building. As the Washington Post first reported, the National Cathedral has suffered damage as a result of the quake:
The tip of the National Cathedral in Washington spire crashed onto the steps on Pilgrim Road. Three of the four pinnacles of the central tower are down and there’s significant damage, said spokesman Richard Weinberg. No injuries were reported.
Joan Lindsey of Leesburg, Va., was visiting the cathedral with her husband and was inside when the quake struck.
“We were down in the lower level, the entire walls started to move, the walls were gyrating, bookcases rattling and almost tipped,” she told The Blaze.
Things were falling from the ceiling, she said, estimating there were about 30 people in the cathedral with them.

“My fear was, we’re down in the bottom, we didn’t know how to get out. Someone directed us outside and said get away from the building. There were big chunks of limestone that fell off [as we got outside],” she said.
She saw five or six pieces coming down around her as they evacuated, one landing less than a foot away. Most were about the size of a baseball, though one was almost 12 inches in length.
“They kept telling us run, get away!” she said
Karen Berry works at the cathedral as an administrative assistant in the facilities department. She told The Blaze she knew right away that it was an earthquake and ran out of the administrative building, which is connected to the main site.
“I saw the towers sway and saw a piece of the cathedral fall to the ground. It was shaking terribly, I’ve never felt anything like that before,” she said.
Craig Stapert, associate director for online strategy and operating as a spokesman for the cathedral, told The Blaze they still don’t know the extent of the damage. For now, he confirmed the top finial — as seen in the first Blaze photo from the scene — is missing. He also said there are cracks around the building and that their stone mason has been out to survey. An architect and structural engineer will perform their own assessments tomorrow.
The Washington National Cathedral is an Episcopal Church landmark in the capital. Located in the northwest quadrant of the city near foreign embassies and the vice president’s residence, the Gothic-like structure is among the tallest in the city. It’s historically been the site of funerals and memorials for presidents and statesmen.
This is a breaking story. Updates will be added. The Blaze’s Madeleine Morgenstern contributed to this report from D.C.

Maybe so, but who cares? If Ron Paul started it, good for him. The group still represents smaller government and personal freedom. The Democrats, through fake grassroots (astroturf) campaigns routinely pay people to “demonstrate”. Unions do the same.
I am not convinced that the Tea Party has been taken over, but I don’t really care. I am not a member of any group, except the NRA. I identify with the Tea Party, because I believe in a small government and individual freedom.
There may be more corporate sponsorship these days because like people, they don’t like big government regulation either.

I have been feeling that in my bones, to the very core of my soul, for a while now and I told her “I am ready” and she said that my brother tells her the same thing all the time (that he is ready) and then she said “I am ready too”. I was overjoyed to hear those words come out of her mouth. We all have to try our best to make sure our family and loved ones are ready. God tells us no man knows the day or hour but we are to know the signs and recognize them and pass the wonderful word of God to everyone we can. Keep watching the sky with me KICKAGRANDMA!!

Posted on August 23, 2011 at 4:17pmWhether or not you think this is a place of worship is beside the point. The very image of the National Cathedral falling down is a powerful one. Maybe it is God shaking us by the shoulders and asking “What is wrong with you? Are you so dense as to continue in your Godless ways? What do I have to do to get your attention?” I think these are very interesting times to be living in. We will see an increase in earthquakes, floods, and “natural” events…The Bible says so…and it doesn’t matter what YOU think. The truth will win out. Just open your eyes and watch. No need for fear: the Lord God of the ages is still in control. Not obama or his shrew or the godless men and women who think they have authority on this earth. They have NO authority unless it comes from God.

Posted on August 23, 2011 at 5:20pmWhat is a church spire or steeple? Where did it come from?
Report Post »The Encyclopædia Britannica states this of the spire: “[it is] a symbol of the heavenly aspirations of pious medieval men” (1979). The earliest of man’s “heavenly aspirations” is recorded in Genesis 11:4: “And they said, Go to, let us build a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven…” Speaking of the steeples, spires and other forms of idolatrous high places, God expressed to Israel His contempt for such structures in Leviticus 26:30: “And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.”

Don‘t belong to a local Tea Party because I can’t get to meetings, BUT more than once, I’ve sponsored Tea Bags for my husband and I. I have God’s promise that He loves His own, and since He shows me His love in hundreds of ways each day, (and occasionly a miracle to punctuate it.)

There’s always time to change that, all the way up to your last breath. Christians have a past too, and we’re not perfect, just sinners saved by grace. It doesn’t mean you need to start listening to Southern gospel. And don’t worry, God changes your “want to’s” you don’t have to. You can’t get there by being good, you have to recognize that Jesus is God, came to earth to die a painful death on the cross to save ALL sinners who would recognize Him as their savior. Come as you are.

Posted on August 23, 2011 at 4:45pmInteresting… most “Blazers” would know when a person/ Religion is slandered for doing/being good there is truth there that “evil” wants to subdue. It should be obvious, we see that anytime a lying Liberal slanders a good person we know to support that person that is being slandered. Why the hatred against Christianity… Jesus? Think about it….

@encicom,
Do you [even] know what you’re talking about? I love when atheists claim to know God but deny his existence..really?

I know of God’s existence fromt eh postings of the alledged “Christians.” They worship a petty and vain diety, sets a feast before us, creates in our nature to desire the feast, hands us silverware, leads us to our set and than tells us not to eat. According to the “christians” he is acts on whims and meddles in politics. He is a God that beleives that the wealthy and rich deserve more rewards, while the poor are cursed. That is the God the posters at the Blaze worship.

You guys must understand why I don’t believe in God. If I did, you can only imagine where I‘d be headed the way I’ve lived my life. Between my utter dependence on others, mocking those who I am dependent on, and just utter miserable existence, if I was a believer I‘d be really scared about what’s in store for me, wouldn’t you?

That’s the beauty of our Savior, His dying words were, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34 but after He arose and just before He Ascended into Heaven He told the Disciples in explaining His life, death and resurrection, ” …and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among ALL NATIONS, BEGINNING IN JERUSALEM!”LUKE 24:47
That means that even with the life you lived, NO MATTER HOW BAD IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN! Repentance is being sorry you’ve lived that life, and deciding to [turn over a new leaf] Remission of sins MEANS IN GOD’S RECORD BOOK, THEY’RE WASHED OUT COMPLEPLETELY! Imagine taking a book [Rev 20:12] and having ink in it, and someone’s spilled blood over it, In time the stain would wash away the writing. [And God is author of time!] “…and another book was opened WHICH IS THE BOOK OF LIFE, and the dead were judged out of those things which are written in the books.”(vs 12b) All you have to do is ask Jesus to be your Savior and your name is written in the Book of Life, and His blood stains out the other book.
