Hi Charista, welcome to this thread! Yes Cheaver, this is a really horrible thing to happen to the young man. So many people have suffered the loss of loved ones, property, and memories. Hi Youmeus, hope all is going well for you and your family. How's Lynette doing?

[youmeus]

Hi Burgy, Lynette is having problems with fluid but otherwise is doing very well. She is supposed to have tests run on her kidney in June but may have to do it earlier. The last test showed it was doing only 15% but the other one was picking up the slack. They are hoping it will keep improving or at least not cause any pain if it is only going to set there and let the other one do all of the work.

She has been able to teach all year without missing any days so we are saying PTL. As you may recall it was March last year before she was able to go to the classroom.

I am to go back for checkup on hip joint 6-7 and expect a good report. When I tell someone I had a hip replaced on Valentines Day the reaction is "I wouldn't have known if you hadn't said so". If I sit too long I will limp a few steps then everything is fine. I am just so thankful that I am pain free. The muscles get to aching but that is so "nothing" compared to before that I am blessed! I've been mowing the yard and have made garden with the help of DIL and grandsons.

I have not heard any update on the tornado victims in Joplin. Yesterday, Wed, there were tornado warnings all day in mid-MO. One set down in Sedalia but no lives were lost. The reporters kept saying they were given more warning so were able to take shelter, I'm sure the Joplin tornado made people react quicker too. We had heavy rains and dark clouds but nothing serious. One came through here 5-13-2009 so we know how much damage they can do.

Thanks for your concern and thanks for keeping this thread alive. My computer goes to the shop tomorrow so won't be back for a few days.

[burgyeb]

PTL on the continued success of your hip surgery Linda, and that Lynette is still actively teaching. Will continue to pray for Lynette's kidney condition.

[sofiag1964]

I received an email (paragraph below) from a friend that had come from another friend of hers, I don't personally know these people but my heart breaks for them. I can't imagine what they must be going through.


My family needs your prayers, again! My cousin, Mark Norton, and his 18 year old son, Will were caught in the tornado in Joplin. They were driving home from Will's high school graduation to his party at home. Less than a mile from home the tornado sucked Will out of the sunroof. Mark was trapped in the car for several hours before being found by resuers. He is in stable condition at Freeman hospital with multiple injuries. Will is still missing. Mark's sister, Tracey, will be on Anderson Cooper on CNN tonight at 9:00 to put Will's picture out there for people to see.

Please pray for Will and his family. This is so frightening I can't even explain it!

awww bless! I'm praying with you all

[sofiag1964]

Father, in the Name of Jesus Christ, I come before you humbly asking you to shield and protect the residents of Joplin, Missouri from predicted further tornado activity later today. Also LORD, please extend your hand of protection over the States of Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, and Arkansas as dangerous tornado patterns are predicted to go through these states as well later today. LORD please miraculously divert and weaken the path of these storms. Thank you LORD for being a God who hears and answers prayers. Amen.

and amen!
