When the Sirens Blow....

And you are a very courageous and protective daughter-in-law, you gather all of the bed pillows and a mattress and put your family in the bathtub. It was a very scary afternoon in Dallas and while 18 tornadoes were touching down in the area, Brooklynn hunkered down in the tub with a kindle and waited out the weather. Turns out she thought it was an adventure...while Mandy and I prayed for clearing. We were fortunate....so many others, not so much.

Spring storms in Texas are the norm but when the stores, schools, and businesses are locked down while sirens blare, you know it is time to take cover. The news coverage of a grandmother holding on to the legs of her grandbaby while her house blew apart hit too close to home. Thank God for no lives lost today. Tonight we thank God for being spared the destruction of tornadoes and for healing for all that were touched today by the wrath of nature.
