Please pray for so many people that lost there homes yesterday and for the families that lost loved ones.

As of now 3 people have parished in the storm.

Pray for those people helping friends, families, neighbors and for crews coming in from all over the country.

There is a huge need for so much.

Last night when I arrived to pick up the girls I was greeted by 5 little ones with eyes the size of oranges and this quote straight from the mouth of Kohyn Dovie.....

" Mommy there is a TOMATO in the tky"

I was not at all in harms way on my way home.

I was heading south out of Kirksville and the action was happening to the north.

Our small town was quite.

Brandon and I stuck close to the radio most of the night, texted friends that we knew that lived close or near the line of fire, and dear Cam prayed.

Brandon and one of my close friends (that works here at the University-KCOM with me) got to see the mess first hand today.

Here is some of the email I recieved from her....

It is just unreal to see what a tornado has done. There are no reports of KCOM student or employee injuries - thank goodness. Think about it...these are students that are taking finals this week and packing up their things to move to another city or another state to finish their last two years of medical school or are graduating on Saturday and in a matter of minutes - they have lost almost everything they own. Please keep all of the tornado victims in your prayers.

Brandon called not long ago and said that if he hadn't seen it for himself he would have never believed anyone telling him.

"It is the biggest mess I have ever seen in my life, it's seriously unreal"

There are multiple houses that will have to be completely tore down.

Search for the LORD and for his strength, and keep on searching.
Psalm 105:4
