"Son's are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from Him. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate." Ps 127:3-5

The warnings went out.
The predictions were made.
A timeline was given,
and then the winds began to change.

Sometimes He chooses to calm the winds, and sometimes He chooses to be glorified through them.

When the winds picked up and left nothing untouched in their path.  God raised up His children to care for those who lost it all.  We have seen the devastation in Tuscalousa, continue to hear of the searches through rubble in Joplin, and now find our own communinities in the midst of their own recovery effort, but God is still here. 

"Never will I leave you;
     never will I forsake you."
Hebrews 13:5

God was there with my family huddled together in our storm shelter praying that Daddy would make it home safely.  God was there for the woman watching t.v. in her recliner when her house was uprooted.  God was there for two little boys as they passed from this life into the arms of Jesus, and God is there for the grieving parents who have a long road ahead. 

God is still here!



Even in the midst of the storm.
