Devastating Weather Outbreak

Our power pole being snapped yesterday wasn't even the tip of the iceberg. David did a little storm chasing yesterday morning.

However, he was gathering friends and Drew moving from safe location to safe location. Tornadoes were popping up EVERYWHERE. He went and got Drew & his babysitter & her child from their home and moved them to another area. A funnel cloud was spotted in that area right afterward. I'm so grateful to have David's weather expertise in a situation like this. It was unbelievable the amount of tornadic activity that MS & AL (& parts of GA).

It has been absolutely devastating for so many communities. Lives lost, homes destroyed, cities ripped of their cores. All our friends and family are accounted for (we believe). However, not everyone has been that fortunate.

Our prayers and thoughts are with everyone touched by this storm.

Earlier Morning Weather



Power went out last night/this morning around 3 am. When the sun came up, we saw why......







This is a picture of the power pole snapped off directly in front of the house. Hopefully, they will get it fixed by tonight....otherwise, we're in a pickle.

David is storm chasing & probably took some great pics that we can post later.

Jim Cantore (From the Weather Channel) is in town.

Our babysitter already had to take her baby & our sweet Drew to the storm house once already this morning. They seem to be in the thick of it.

So, as you can see, the weather has been/is very eventful today.

Happy Easter!!

Easter 2011

Easter is my favorite holiday!! What can be greater than celebrating our Risen Lord?!
It's been a family tradition (of mine/kk) to celebrate with an Easter afternoon service at a little church in the country, Spring Grove. It's a little one room church....... that is the picture perfect representation of the "Church in the Wildwood"!!

We hope that if you have never accepted Christ as your Lord & Saviour, there is no time like the present. It is so simple!!

Just pray - "Dear Lord, I know I am a sinner. I know Jesus that you died for my sins. Please forgive me of my sins and come into my heart. Amen."

There's nothing fancy about this. Sin has been overcome. Christ died for our sins. He took them upon Himself at the cross. Then, He arose & conquered death. So, now if we accept Him, we can have eternal life. It's free, it's easier than "googling."

If you read this blog, then you probably know us & know our hearts. You are our friends and family. We love you too much not to share with you this life/death changing experience.

Happy Easter!!
