A prayer of thanks.
Friday, May 23, 2008 at 12:47AM Some of you may have heard that there were tornadoes in northern Colorado earlier today (Thursday). The worst of the damage was in Windsor, about 10 miles southeast of where we live. The storm activity moved in a northwest direction up the state, running just past us. So, while we did have considerable storm activity and precipitation, we were fortunate to have escaped the tornadoes. Still. The boys and I spent a somewhat tense day watching the updates and making a few trips to the basement when the winds picked up. (Used the time as a learning opportunity to read about weather and tornadoes, among other things.) Things like this aren't supposed to happen here, though I suppose I will simply be thankful for the reminder of what's truly important.
After watching the news footage during the day with the boys, our hearts go out to each and every family affected. (The Emergency Operations Center was activated and the Governor declared a state of emergency.) We'll be watching the news to see how best we can help in the days to come. If you wouldn't mind, would you please say a quick prayer for this nearby community? So many tonight are without homes.

Definitely scary! I can't believe we're just over an hour south and I had no idea this was going on until I saw it on CNN!
