Re: Tornado last night

I'm assuming these are common in the area for all? We are the only ones in our area that have a shelter. Actually we have only seen a handful. Some people have what is called a saferoom built into their garage. Some are anchored to cement or others are built underground when the home is built. We h...

May 27th St. Bede the Venerable

Bede is one of the few saints honored as such even during his lifetime. His writings were filled with such faith and learning that even while he was still alive, a Church council ordered them to be read publicly in the churches. At an early age, Bede was entrusted to the care of the abbot of the Mon...

God's creatures, small and smaller.

I can sit on my front deck and watch the country critters come and eat. I am very close to where they feed. About 12 to 15 Mourning Doves hang out at my house but they are frightened very easily so I don't go out when they are eating; it scares them away. I also have a pair of Cardinals that live he...

Tornado last night

Stephen woke me up right after 11 PM and said we needed to get into the storm shelter. A tornado was coming straight for us and it was huge. It was a super cell.
