The Storm

Thank you to everyone for your concern for our famly after hearing about the tornado that passed through Griffith. We are okay. All around us, most of the homes were intact with minor damage (if any). Please pray for those who lost their homes and businesses and for the town itself as they slowly begin to put things back together.

Here are some pictures I took early on Tuesday morning of our neighborhood as we were all coming out to assess the damage. It was the most amazing thing to see these trees completely torn out of the ground.

Hi Julie,
Thanks for the sweet comment. We are not totally sure what we are doing. If you think to pray for us, please do. It's really a difficult place to be. I am glad you are alright after that storm. It's amazing how strong the wind can be.

whoa, these are some good pictures.

Julie, I wasn't sure how else to get a hold of you since I seem to have an old phone number, but Donna told me to contact you about worship at the women's conference. If you're interested in having me help, I'd love to, and I can figure out my part by hearing song. Or if not, no big deal. I just wanted to make myself easy to get in touch with... christyklippel@gmail.com

have a good week! :)
