Wild Weather

By now most of you have probably heard about the storms that rolled through our area last night. Praise the Lord we were spared! Actually, we were quite oblivious. It rained REALLY hard and we got quite a bit of hail (up to 1"), but we never got any strong wind or the eeriness that usually proceeds a tornado. The lights flickered, but never went out. The sirens didn't go off, and we weren't even watching TV closely, so we had no idea how bad it was until people started calling to see if we were okay. Unfortunately, there were many people who were not okay. There are all kinds of connections to the devastated area. I just found out one of the families from my mom's group at church lost everything. They have 4 young children, including 2-year-old twins, and she just had a double-mastectomy last month. It sure puts things in perspective!
