PRAYERS FOR JOPLIN

Wow, the devastation in Joplin is just gut wrenching to me. It is hard to believe that so many people lost their lives and worldly possessions just less than 2 hours away... I am hoping that somehow our church can help the people of Joplin in some way... I have been praying for the people there all day... And all of that on top of the other deadly tornadoes of this Spring... I just do not remember so many people losing their lives in other years due to tornadoes...so sad...

We are making sure our radio has batteries in it as we are expecting bad storms here tonight and over the next 2 days... I checked in with the neighbor next door as they have a underground shelter. I am REALLY hoping we don't need to make use of it... I actually called today to check on getting one put in at our house. These are the days that this northern girl misses her basement immensely...

Praying for your family's protection. I have a friend from high school who lives in Joplin. Her family is okay but their house is pretty much destroyed. They were having their oldest child's birthday party when the tornado hit but fortunately they all made it to the basement. The devastation is heartbreaking. Love and miss you!
