Pray for Moore Oklahoma

I'm sure most of y'all know about the tornado that went through

Moore Oklahoma yesterday. It went 2 miles south of

our home but our rent house received damage. Structure

still good though and luckily it is empty at the moment.
across the street the movie theater that we were at less
then 24 hours before sustained damage. Our bowling alley
and bank are wiped out. The gas station that my husband always
goes to is no longer... Such sadness.

My husband and I have a few friends that have lost

everything. One of which is having a baby

tomorrow. Other friends don't have roofs but are 

still able to salvage household items. I'm so thankful

that all our friends and family are safe. I am aslo

thankful to the Moore school district for taking quick

measure to keeping the kids at WHS and not letting them leave.

My sister took a picture from school of the tornado.

It was less then 1/2 mile away from them.

Please keep everyone here in your thoughts and prayers.

The Lord is still on His throne and He knows

what everyone is going through. the people of

Moore are strong and so many have come

to help search for people and clean up.
