Safe from the Tornado Disasters



We are on the road again and feel very blessed to be safe. We left St. Pete on Mon. planning on staying one night in Tall. and visiting our son Chip. We barely made it to the campground as we started to have some problems with the RV. We took it to Camping World on Tues. AM and were rather upset when we could not get it done until Wed. As it turned out it was not done until late Wed. so we spent another day in Tall. and left 6AM Thurs. The tornadoes hit Wed. night. If we had not had problems, we would have been in the middle of the mess. As we drove through Birmingham, AL today we were shocked to see the damage. We so wanted to stop and help, but realized we had nothing to offer them. I saw people just standing around in shock, not knowing what to do or where to go. Here are a few of the pictures I took as we drove through. Keep these people in your prayers.

Wow! How awesome to hear that your RV delay had God's handprints all over it, friends. We are so grateful that you were NOT able to keep on your schedule thereby keeping you from being in the middle of the tornadoes. It DOES make it confusing though, that so many people WERE in the middle of the destruction & those are the things we won't know the answers to until we see the Father face to face. I can just imagine how helpless you felt as you looked on what you shared with us in the pictures. We miss you already but look forward to seeing you when you're back for N-'s graduation. Doesn't seem possible! Enjoy!
