    Default PRAYER REQUEST

    My MIL's home was hit by a tornado this afternoon in Merrillville, Indiana, which is about one hour from Chicago. She called us hysterical but she was not home at the time of the storm - she had taken her grandson to the doctor. We are so far away here in Missouri. Her name is Jean and she lives alone, although she has a daughter and grown grandkids in the area. I think most of her damage is on the outside of her home, but we are not able to reach her to check on her. She's 75 years old.

    Thank you for your prayers...Barb

    I would be hysterical, too. Sending prayers for Jean - and the rest of the family . . . you and your DH, too!! Please let us know how she's coping. Thank God she wasn't injured.
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??

    Dear Barb,

    Know that Don and I have her in our prayers. Hope that the damage is in the yard and not the home.

    Oh, Barb! I'm so sorry to hear about this! I didn't know there were bad storms up in Chicago. I hope her house can be fixed with insurance and some time. It is terrible what storms can do when they roll through quickly and with lots of wind and rain.

    I will say extra prayers for her! From another Jean

    Barb, how awful for her and she must be so grateful she wasn't home at the time. Prayers going up now for her.
