Yes, We were Hit
Last night, a major storm ripped through our area and caused major damage. USA Today reported on it this morning: "Hail, strong winds slash across Indiana." While our county did not bear the brunt of the storm, we were not spared. A huge branch from one of our trees has fallen onto the roof of our house. We have begun working with our insurance agent and a contractor to get things restored.

In light of everything that has happened, I want to begin by thanking God for keeping my family safe. I was away at work, but my amazing wife kept our children calm and free from harm. I also want to thank Him for how well everything has gone since last night. Our insurance agent has gotten us in touch with the right people and our contractor is one of the nicest people I have met. Our house appears to remain structurally sound and I have been able to move most of the fallen limbs and branches out of our yard. To sum up, I see God working through our difficulties for His glory.

At the same time, we have a long way to go. Please pray for God to continue to be with us. We'd also appreciate prayer so that our expenses will not get out of hand. Finally, please join us in prayer for our area as well as Indiana as a whole as we recover from this storm.

Praise God for His grace and protection!
