bless you maryjane, thank you for the prayers. we've had 4 tornado warnings in the last week alone but nothing has touched down nearby. it's so early in the season for tornadoes, and they're happening at night? it sure rattles the poor kiddos, especially when they blow the sirens/horns outside. praise God in His mercy, we'll be praying for those effected.
each time it happens, it makes me think of the scripture about not knowing the time nor the hour when Jesus will come back. sure feels like that in the middle of the night when we run into the basement, preparing in advance for the tornado sirens but not knowing when they'll blow. (Mk 13:32 and Mt 24:36)
