so hopefully i will get to update this later and finish it-if i don't do that now...
but a year ago today, feb. 5 2008, a day that changed so many lives right here in the heart of the south. there were 4 people who died in memphis from these tornados, countless homes destroyed, thousands of lives changed forever. a university damaged, an entire city damaged, and an evening of worry and panic for me. this time last year we had the tornados...and the focus was on one place for a very long time, now, yet again, don't get me wrong the damage at union was great, the fact that not one student died was amazing but we must not forget that union was not the only place that was damaged or destroyed a year ago today. there were banks, businesses, churches, and homes that were destroyed just as much or even worse than union. last year i got soooo mad at certain organizations and tv stations and others that focused solely on union and their recovery efforts and in doing this completely FORGOT about those other people who don't have millions of dollars pouring in from a conference and other churches...there are still people rebuilding their lives, those families in memphis who lost loved ones-they will never be able to completely rebuild their families...
anyways, i will stop rambling and ranting-PRAISE GOD that a year ago today soooo many lives were spared all over the south, but PRAYERS are needed for all those who lost loved ones and who are still trying to rebuild their lives!!
