It has moved me to tears... You wrote this at a time when I didn't even think that things would ever be ok. But as I read these words tonight, just over a year later. I cant help but feel happy that things are ok! Ok, because of friendships like yours and the love of an incredible God! <br />Your words are beautiful and truly a gift! <br />Hugs!<br />Annie~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-16277750434689323072011-05-28T21:50:49.719-05:002011-05-28T21:50:49.719-05:00i live in pittsburg. i have been numb since all of...i live in pittsburg. i have been numb since all of this. i can't even imagine what you are feeling. i am so glad you and your family are alive and well!<br />god bless.rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00970152253181055322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-61251300070572583032011-05-26T10:56:12.874-05:002011-05-26T10:56:12.874-05:00Wow.

My husband and I have both spent a lot of time at that church through Camino and it crushes me to see it - and so many other parts of the city - in ruins.

Stephanie linked to your blog on her FB and that's how I found you. Your town is in my prayers. Seeing video footage made it all so real to me. Praying for you all and I will work on figuring out how I can help. I crochet and used to have my own online biz and closed it several months ago after being to busy for the business with three small kiddos. Would love to help in any way I can. Big hugs being sent your way.<br /><br />P.S. A random question for you. My mom's former pastor and his entire family moved to Joplin last year from her (CA) to pastor a church there. It's called Church of God of Prophesy. Do you know if that church has been affected? I know it's a long shot to ask, but just thought I'd throw it out there.

And they terrify me precisely because one house is unharmed while another is leveled and no one can predict which house will be hit. I think the most haunting part of all the picture I have seen is the trees. Something about those trees with no tops just stuns me. I'm so relieved you and your family are okay.nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605426195521274662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-66861521195106746372011-05-24T11:05:21.073-05:002011-05-24T11:05:21.073-05:00Glad that you and yours are safe, and sending many...Glad that you and yours are safe, and sending many prayers your way.Maude Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03669688074743095866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-29712714277082929722011-05-24T10:44:38.448-05:002011-05-24T10:44:38.448-05:00I don't know what to say either, except that I...I don't know what to say either, except that I am sending lots of prayers your way.kellyhttp://www.chasinghugo.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-27917566978863393482011-05-24T10:29:37.713-05:002011-05-24T10:29:37.713-05:00I just moved from Joplin last year and still have ...I just moved from Joplin last year and still have several friends there, many who lost their homes.
