Numbers 13-15; Proverbs 21:22-31
Friday's Bible Reading: Numbers 13-15; Proverbs 21:22-31
Tornado!
Last night right at the end of the 11:00 news on channel 8 they announced that a tornado had hit a hospital in Americus, Georgia, which is where Jay's brother Joel works. I found the website of an Albany television station that was broadcasting live on the Internet. When I realized how bad it was, I woke up Jay and he tried calling but couldn't reach anyone. He finally got through to Alex this morning, who happened to be down there, so Jay got to talk to both Alex and Joel. They are all okay, as is their house, but the hospital is severely damaged and Joel's medical office is destroyed. He was there trying to salvage medical records. He wasn't able to talk long but said he would call back tonight. What a terrible day of awful weather in the South! We're so thankful that Jay's family is okay, but we can't forget the many families who did not receive such good news.
