Remember these people in your prayers this holy week.
Last time I was at waterfront where it hit I had to get off ahead a severe line of storms. Weird.

Thanks gang for all your thoughts and prayers. I'm glad all of you guys are ok as well. I went to pick up a part for my car yesterday after the storm moved thur our area and across the street from the salvage yard (where I went to pick up my part) the tornado had touched down. Were I to turn into the salvage yard, a car was upside down were the tornado had picked it up and dropped it on it's roof. A couple of state troopers were already there helping the gentleman out of his car (the guy was not hurt). And not 100 ft away two mobile homes were destroyed (one with a Man and his dog in it, who were not hurt either THANK GOD). I tried to help but powerlines were down every where, I couldn't get to them but was told by their neighbors that everyone was already out and safe. All I could do is cry and pray as I drove home. I'm going to take some food, clothes, blankets etc...back over there this morning and see if theres anything else I can do to help out. Continue to keep these folks in your prays.

Lisa, I'm glad to hear that you are OK.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of the Families that have been impacted. Here is a report from Mena Arkansas; they desperately need our prayers! http://www.nwanews.com/adg/National/256982 ~Mark |

Prayers sent to all that were effected by the twister...we live in an area that see's twisters quiet often, one went through last week a few weeks ago but no damage to speak of, however many times they are devastating..

The damage in Mena Ark. is unbelieveable. It breaks my heart to see and hear of the so many deaths as well as the destruction of all those homes and businesses.
God is Good. He is always there to help us through times like this. |
