Rocks, Balancing, and Storms.

A few days before the storms and tornadoes came through we went across the street and threw rocks in the creek (Nathans favorite)

and balanced on the rocks around the used-to-be-flower-bed (Kylee's favorite)

Its amazing how one day everything seems almost perfect and then the next day houses are obliterated, lives are lost, and neighborhoods are destroyed. I don't have any pictures of the tornadoes path or of the houses it demolished. But I do have one thing- thankfulness to God for sparing the lives of hundreds of other people that, from the looks of their houses, should not be here today. And from keeping the path of the tornadoes much smaller than that of the ones in April. That is not to belittle what happened to countless family members and neighbors in our community who were hit by the tornadoes. The destruction is devastating. But...

Even in the midst of the storms and destruction, God is good.
