Yesterday morning I taught a Welcome Class for newcomer refugees. I knew we had scattered thunderstorms in the forecast, so the last 15 minutes of class, I explained the difference between watch and warning as they pertain to severe weather. I also explained what to do if there is a tornado warning.
Yesterday afternoon I was at home and heard the tornado sirens. I looked at the local weather channel and saw the storm was north of the city, nevertheless, the sirens were sounding. A business outside of the city was flattened and a small city to the east of my city had some damage. The worst damage was to a small city about 40 miles from my city.
I think perhaps the whole ordeal got the attention of my newcomer refugee friends.
It makes me think about the warnings Jesus gave us of things to look for before the end times. As I look at the craziness and violence in our world, it certainly feels like his return could happen in our life time.
Update- I had my pre op physical Thursday and the phone call with the surgery center yesterday. I will have my second surgery, same knee, next Thursday. I would appreciate prayers for the surgery, recovery, and also for provision. I received my bills from the first surgery and now have a second one coming. Being a home missionary/teacher, finances are always tight.
Today we will have more storms in the late afternoon, but I think a trip to the coffee shop might be in order. Tomorrow will be my church in the morning and then the Ukrainian church in the afternoon. What will your weekend bring?
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
