Tornados

So I consider myself a pretty brave person ... Until it comes to tornados, that is.  As I sit down here in my basement listening to the second siren of the night.  The first one came as I was out walking Skylar.  I'm looking at all the crumbling brick and old wood down here and think I'd be better off in my bathtub!!  The good news is that it shouldn't be to hard to dig me out with such soft brick.  It literally is falling off the insides of this basement!

I should clarify that this is not a comfy finished basement ... It's a dark, cold and musty cellar!  The good news:  I get GREAT internet connection down here.  I am a little bit amazed though as I peak out once in awhile to see what's going on, only to see people outside and read about people not going to their shelters.  It reminds me of how often I ignore "warnings" from The Holy Spirit and just think, oh, nothing is going to happen to me; this won't affect me; I don't REALLY have to protect myself. It only takes one "tornado" to catch me off guard.  Be on guard, watch and listen to, and for, those warnings.

All this to say, I hate tornados and warnings and I hate living by myself when they come!  Skylar isn't much help as I can't get her down here with me!  And by the way, it did touch down here near Cedarville.  A couple of houses/farms outside of town were hit.  Praise The Lord that it didn't come through town.  But also praying those families are ok.
