I had an idea for my next post...cute, lots of pictures, and very random. In the midst of my brainstorming, the unthinkable happened. An EF4 tornado ripped through Moore, Oklahoma.
When I first heard the news, I was very concerned...my in-laws and nephews live south of Oklahoma City. When my panicked, online searching provided me with the answer I was looking for (their town was not affected), I was immediately relieved. However, when pictures started pouring in of the devastation in Moore, my heart was heavy.
I pray for the people who lost homes...
I pray for the people who lost loved ones...
I pray for the little children who perished in the elementary school...
I thank God for the heroism of ordinary people - many lives were saved because of them...
I thank God for the police, firefighters, EMT's, and health care workers...
On a personal note, I thank God for the selflessness of my brother-in-law, Tom, who at 9:00 last night drove to Moore to help. He helped as a fireman, as a doctor, and as a father and husband. I'm proud of you Tom, and I'm proud to call you family.
