Life can change in a second!

We have a new reverence for the power of nature as it was a grueling night in North Texas. The weather bureau is still determining if it was tornados or straight line winds. But in Hurst, several power poles that were rated to withstand 125 mile/hour winds were snapped off leaving most without power. In fact, 250K people were without power throughout the night/day and ours just went on about 3ish - 12 hours later.

Andy's neighborhood took a heavy hit knocking down many fences and yanked their bbq right out of the granite! The pitty-patty pattern of destruction is mind boggling forgiving one and taking down another.




The biggest scare was with all the fences down, Ginger got out and roamed the neighborhood fighting the high winds, incredible lightening and rain.
Andy braved the storm at 4am looking for Ginger and Haley Mae called saying, "Gwamma, will you say a prayer for Ginger? Our dog is lost?" A real tug on heart strings and grateful she has the faith Heavenly Father would bring her puppy home.

After a long morning, canvasing neighborhoods, posting a lot of signs, and more prayers, a kind soul brought home Ginger. She is a tired puppy taking a well deserved nap! Happy ending to this story and a new perspective on how quickly things can change ... not to take ANYTHING for granted ... count our blessings ... live and serve in a manner to draw claim upon the blessings of the gospel ... hug more ... and know i love you! xo ...
