Was it a tornado - or that "straight line wind"????!!!!!

Thursday  - middle of the night --- around 1:00 a.m. it was raining and hailing......Oh boy - there goes the garden.  Well, suddenly there was a  loud roar of the wind - that lasted for several minutes .  My thought was - "doesn't sound like a train so I guess we're OK".  And we both went back to sleep.   The following morning Gary went for coffee at his usual stop - Don Schellhaus - and Don had heard the same thing.  But he also - just laid there and went back to sleep.

Then we ran into Dan Tinant...  "did you see that system all twisted "?   Turns out that the irrigation system just to the east of Don (1/4 mile) and NW of us (1 mile)got hit by the wind.  Those pipes are full of water at this time of the year - and have to be VERY heavy.  But notice how the one section is flipped over - upside down --- but the wheels are still in place.  Quite puzzling / interesting!!

We realize now that the wind WAS something more than just a little excess noise!

So - the question -- do we have a plan - if it HAD sounded like a freight train?????? NOPE!  We live in a trailer house without a basement --- and jeepers!!!  it's a long run over to Grandpas house to get into the basement there.  Kind of seems like we really ought to come up with A PLAN!! 

Rainy again today and we have the Rosebud Worship Service this evening.  But unless someone changes the plans we will battle the roads and have a short Bible Lesson for the kids and some fun and some food.  The lesson is about Zacchaeus.  Good applications on this one for adults too -- so perhaps we will speak on that also.  Zacchaeus did turn his life completely around and follow God's plan for his life.  That would be the message for the adults......the little ones ---- "look for Jesus as hard as you can".

Lakeview Christian Reformed Church 100th Anniversary celebration is July 5 & 6 (4th of July will be our usual Potluck at the park - so we know there will be more there than usual too).  It will be a wonderful celebration of God's faithfulness  -- Psalm 100:5 The Lord is good....His faithfulness continues through all generations.    The congregation has put a huge effort into this celebration and it should prove to be a fun time!!!    More on that later....

Thank you, once again, for your prayers and support.
