I'm sure that by now most everyone has heard about the horrific weather that devastated the south yesterday. Thankfully, the worst weather was well to our north, but it still affected several of our friends and family members.

We have a few cousins who live in Tuscaloosa that suffered some pretty severe property damage, but everyone made it through safely. A good friend of ours had some of her show and breeding horses at a barn north of Birmingham that took a direct hit from a tornado. Her stallion made it through safely, but her show filly was injured. She hadn't heard anything about her broodmare yet. :(

Please continue to pray for all of those who lost family members, friends, homes, pets, etc. At the last count, over 131 people lost their lives in Alabama yesterday.

"This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you." -- 2 Kings 20:5

After such destruction, devastation, and loss, I am so thankful for the promises of our Savior.
