Tuscaloosa Tornado


The tornadoes  around the country have been terrifying and devastating for many people this year.  It is hard to see the damage and imagine the fear and sadness it brings to those involved. 

Lauren was attending college there and had said that for the first time, she actually heeded the siren and took cover on campus.  We are thankful that the campus was not hit directly and she was just fine.

But even though it was not leveled as were some areas of the city, the damage that resulted in them having no electricity on campus was serious enough to send everyone home early.  The semester was not over, but students left.  Not all college students  would  feel the same way about those circumstances. You can imagine that some would feel cheated out of instruction after having paid for a fell semester. But Lauren  whose grades were good up to that point, was quite happy when  she was given the opportunity to get the grade she had or finish up next fall.  She took her grades and ran...back to the north where she belongs anyway.  Whoops, I'm getting my preferences in there.  She is too far away from us when in AL.

The picture of her shows how devastated she was.

It is all in one's perspective.  And so it is when you consider the pastor who had to go to court to be allowed to mention the name of Jesus in his Memorial Day public prayer.
