Thankful none hurt in storms

Thu., Aug. 14, 2014

Has anybody else noticed? Three sudden and very violent storms in three weeks. Numerous massive trees and power lines down, some atop cars, houses and electric lines. A mobile home park devastated.

And yet, not even one person killed or injured. Even the 5-year-old boy beneath a tree that fell on his roof and debris raining down was uninjured.

We have so very much for which to be thankful.
