He helped save a man's life who was hit by flying glass inside a store. The glass cut across the man's neck. He worked with him until a helicopter was able to land. <BR/>We talk about younger children, but he'll be forty this year, and his wife said he had nightmares and talked in his sleep all night. <BR/>May we all find peace. It will happen by talking about our experiences with each other.

The other night it hailed...I jumped out of bed and tried to look outside (but it was dark.) I thought to myself, "If another one comes, we won't see it!" Sigh....I never used to be afraid of weather like that.<BR/><BR/>NadineWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466308327153395061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30752286.post-10352130059914664692008-06-05T12:31:00.000-06:002008-06-05T12:31:00.000-06:00Becca, Thanks for putting into words exactly what ...Becca, <BR/>Thanks for putting into words exactly what is going on in our household too. Today has been extremely difficult; our son, who was at Windmill during the tornado, is CONSTANTLY asking me if there is going to be a tornado, then asking me to promise that there won't be one. I have tried telling him that I can't make a promise like that, but that I can promise to keep him safe. That just isn't good enough, so I have resorted to promising there won't be a tornado with my fingers crossed and silently pleading with the powers-that-be to help me out on this one.<BR/><BR/>We just had a delivery of construction materials for my brother-in-law and the driver made the comment that the weather has been weird all over the world and that its a sign the "master is coming". I thought he was joking so I laughed and THEN realized he was serious. OOPS! I was really glad when he left and told me to "have a blessed day". I think I (along with the rest of our town) need it!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
