AND THE BEAT GOES ON & FRIDAY'S TORNADO IN INDIANA

Another day on our journey to full timing has passed.  We did not accomplish much today.


  A good old migraine has plagued me for the last day and a half.  I am planning on being in good condition tomorrow morning.  You know how exciting Monday mornings are? Don't you?


Oh wait, Monday mornings are just another day to all of us, aren't they.....well .....most of us.  It just dawned on me that every morning is now Saturday morning!  How's that for retirement.... not too bad.


On another note, we have not had a television set in our home for fifteen months.  Seldom do I miss it, but Friday, with the tornadoes, it made us think.  Maybe we need at least a weather radio here in the house.  We need one for the motorhome anyway, so I think that this week, sometime, we will make the purchase.  

The need to purchase a weather radio brings to light the question what kind of weather radio?"  I have no idea.  We have not researched them at all.  We have no clue what to look for when it comes to bells and whistles.  


Speaking of weather radios, tornadoes etc. I have learned that friends of our lost a llama in the tornado.  Their barn was destroyed as well as vast damage to their house.  


 I do have a report on the two year old that was found in a field after the tornado.  She has been identified.  Both her parents, her three year old brother and a seven week old sister we all killed.   She was the only survivor in her immediate family and has been removed from life support and has died.


Her name, was Angel.  

God is good. He did not cause this event, but  He does not promise us that we will live a life without heartache and tragedy and sometimes death.  But He does promise us a way through every life experience.  I know.  I've been there.  I've done that.  


Suddenly, I don't feel like blogging more this evening.  It is time for reflection.  If I were to die tonight, I am confident that through Christ Jesus, I would live forever with Him.  Only He can offer that blessed assurance.


My prayer for each of you tonight, is that you, personally know Christ Jesus as your savior and that whether it be out motorhoming, on the beach, in the desert, city or in heaven we will greet each other with smiles and hugs. 


God bless...............

INDIANA'S WIND, THUNDER, LIGHTNING, HAIL, RAIN, AND TORNADO.

Yesterday, we were extremely fortunate unlike many others about an hour south of us here in Indiana.  We were pummeled with all but the last, the tornado.  Hail covered the ground resembling a layer of snow on the ground.  

The most ironic thing is that all the tornado warning sirens went of as the storm was abating.  Someone really missed the timing on that!  We have learned from past experience, that there is a greenish/grey hue outside just before a really serious storm.  Yesterday, the hue was not present.

So what did John and I do?  We continued hanging light fixtures with one eye on the weather outside.  The light fixtures are up and we are safe.

Some were not as fortunate.  Schools, farms, homes and businesses were pummeled with this spring storm.  

In addition to the material damage, the report is that thirteen lives were lost and a baby girl was found in a field after the massive, tornado spawning storms blew through.  The child and her family's home was about ten miles south of where the baby was found.  Their town was in the path of the storm.  Their county and ten other counties in Indiana have been declared a disaster area.


Our heart and our prayers go out to all involved in yesterday's tragedy here in Indiana and throughout the widespread area.
