Default Dad's house hit by a tornado
I request your prayers tonight. My dad is living in the house I just moved out of in Arkansas. He was hit HARD by a tornado tonight. He is OK, but at 74 years old, he has lost nearly everything. I am leaving first thing tomorrow AM to help, but they need your prayers.

Whew, looks like he had the biggest gang of rock throwing punks outside his house! I bet that minivan still runs though, put some glass and lenses in it and should be good to go!
Main thing is your dad is all right, real glad to hear it!

Ditto.

Things can be repaired or replaced.

Shoot. Now Karen, my stepmom is in the hospital. She has not had a BM since the tornado. She is in the hospital tonight with a growth in her abdomen that is blocking her lower intestine. If they can't fix it, she will die. Dad is beside himself. Pray for them please.

Well, Dad said she "laid the golden egg" yesterday. I appreciate the prayers. Dad is holding up well, and with her clearing out, they can get in there to see what is going on.
