Thursday miscellanea #419

Today is the sixth anniversary of the worst day of the Super Outbreak. On April 27, 2011, a record 218 tornadoes touched down, killing hundreds and erasing entire swaths of community in seconds. God be with those still grieving. And let us pray for continued deliverance from a similar event.

Been a bad year already for ticks at my house. Keep your grass cut; keep your pets medicated and checked; and keep yourselves checked.
Ashleigh still has a long way to go, but her mother saw her eyes this week. Please keep her in your prayers.
