Prayer for My Mother

Our son’s not here yet. Just keeping you updated.

While you’re praying for us and our big day coming up, please keep my mom and step-dad in your prayers. They live in The Villages, which was decimated by a tornado early this morning. They’re alive, obviously, but they had a pretty scary night. The roof of their house collapsed onto their bed just a few seconds after they made it into the bathroom. All of their windows blew out, leaving glass all over the house, allowing debris to come flying in. Their garage door blew in several feet, locking the vehicles inside. My step-dad’s truck was wrecked. They lost a big part of their roof, and their furniture was damaged. There is mud in many parts of the house. Their outdoor plants were shredded.

And that’s just their place. All of their neighbors’ homes are damaged as well. It’s going to be a difficult time ahead for them. It’s hard being completely across the country from them. If we didn’t have a baby on the way I’d be on a plane. Please pray for them and their community.

Thanks, Harry.

Update: Here are some photos of the damage.
