Devastation.

Tuscaloosa, the town I spend 4 1/2 years in for college has been destroyed. An F4 or bigger tornado hit the heart of the city on Wednesday. Please pray for Tuscaloosa and the rest of the South. My parents live a few hours from there but will not have power for at least 5 to 7 days. It is going to be a long recovery. Im thankful for the mercy of God and that no one I know was hurt or killed in the storm. So many others lost so much.
   
1. My brother Daniel wrote a good blog entry on it today. Read it HERE.
2. HERE is part of the story in CNN.
3. if you want to help out and donate to the Red Cross go HERE.
"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come, behold the works of the Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire.“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth!” The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress."Psalm 46.
