Tripple Post Saturday!

Can it be? Can I actually have three posts in a single day? COOL!

Here is an email from a former leaguer and good friend who endured the tornados two days ago in Iowa City, IA. Pray for those who have lost in these storms. Praise God for His awesome work also. God is at work in all things... Some times we have to look harder than others.

Hello,
As i'm sure you already heard on the news today, last night a series of tornadoes ripped through downtown IA city, and caused lots of damage to the downtown area.

Last night after the storm had passed and the all clear was sounded, some friends and i took a walk and looked at all the destruction. The worst of it was around Iowa Avenue, friend's houses were damaged (they're fine), traffic lights didn't work, trees and cars were tore up and flug everywhere, windows blown out, and the ENTIRE ped-mall had been roped off with caution tape by the police and national guard. (supposedly there were gas leaks).

The most amazing thing i saw last night had to have been near the hospital. We were walking near the hospital and we saw sitting there in the parking lot a devistated mini van, the side windows all broken up, and the doors dented. as we came closer to it for closer inspection, there was an elderly couple that came behind us and said "that was our van, we were on Jefferson Street when the tornado hit, and some lumber with nails flew through our windows, we got bloodied up a bit from the glass, but otherwise we're fine."

The husband of the couple opened the door on the driver's side, and held up three large pieces of wood with sevral protruding nails in it. "We're lucky to be alive," the wife said, "someone was really watching over us tonight."

It was really cool to see that little glimse of God's good work last night, you know? I mean he was watching over all of us, but it's still amazing that they survived, and God is really the only explination i can think of as to why they did.

I just thought you would find that interesting,

Angela
