Safe After the Storms

Thank you for all of your concern and prayers for our family and all of those around us. It was a pretty rough day on Friday, but we are thanking God for His mercies, and praying for those who were not so fortunate.

Jordan had come to my house Friday morning to pick up some things, and something (rather, SOMEONE) prompted me to tell him to go on home, knowing that the storms were quickly moving in. He lives in Murfreesboro, the town that was the hardest hit by the tornadoes. Anyway, I was on the phone with him as he was driving, updating him on the path of the tornado, praying for him, and he was literally about 4 minutes ahead of the tornado that crossed the interstate right where he was driving. As he got to his house, he and 2 of his friends could see the funnel cloud off in the distance. They have a basement, and they were safely "stowed", and their neighborhood did not suffer any damage, other than a few limbs blown down. Again, I am still thanking God for His protection. The town is a mess in areas, and there were some tragedies, so keep these folks in your prayers.

I hope you all had a blessed Easter. I managed to get to the 7 a.m. (!!) service, and it was awesome! It was a lovely day all around, made even more special by knowing that, no matter the circumstances, we are held as precious treasures,

In His Grip!

So happy you and yours are safe. We did think about all of our wonderful christian friends on Friday morning when we woke up and heard the storms forecasted for TN. Prayers were said for you and others in the area. It was a beautiful Easter here and the temps were awesome for us Easter weekend; hovering around 60 with bright sunshine all weekend. We will remember those who have losses with the storms this past weekend. Have a good week!

Debbie, thank you so much for updating us. I know we're not supposed to worry but I was very concerned about you and the kids. I hope that all the guys from Legacy Five and their families are also okay. I'm sure that Resurrection Day had more meaning to you than ever.

Debbie,
We were not aware of the tornadoes in TN. However, isn't God so good to use many others to pray for you, and the others there, who were in these circumstances. We will remember those families affected by this storm. Thanking the Lord for your family's safety. Am glad to hear of your wonderful Easter service, we too had a wonderful cantata at church Easter morning, and another wonderful service on Sunday evening.
Blessings...
