Glassville Tornado

Well the fun never stops... yesterday storms moved into the area in the late afternoon just as Jean, Sherry and I returned home from King's Landing. I distinctly recall telling Jean, "be careful driving home". Well my thoughts were right as a big storm did hit but not where Jean lived.

Farther North East of us is one of our congregations in Glassville a small, mainly farming, community. The storm hit them hard; how hard? They made national news today. A suspected tornado damaged roofs and destroyed a barn. I found this out just this evening and so I hope I still have a church in the morning when I go to our regularly scheduled Morning Prayer.

Last year I arrived and two weeks into my incumbency lightning struck Florenceville... we made news. Now a year after my arrival, my first service being the 3rd of July, a tornado hits another of my communities. Hummmm. Don't tell the insurance company.

Didn't our Lord say to us in our lectionary reading a week ago that when storms rage around us to have faith?!
