We rode out the storm that passed through Cleveland, TN at a friends house. She called several times worried about us, knowing we did not have a basement to go to so we packed up and went over to her house. I pulled up in front as I normally do but my wife insisted that I pull under the carport just in case of hail. Well 10 minutes after we were in the house there was a large cracking sound and a tree fell, exactly where I would have normally parked. At first I felt relief until a thought came to mind. I had been asking God to help us pay the car off so we could get out from under a car payment, he answered but I wasn’t where I was supposed to be…
I thank God for protecting us and others in the storm and my prayers continue to go out to the families of the 327 people whose lives were lost in the storm….

Words can hurt (3608 downloads ) A puppet fights a bully and gets hurt. He learns that words don’t hurt. He learns to pray for those that hurt us. What would Jesus Do?

Don’t we all get afraid at times, whether it is stress, work, family, etc we all get afraid… So how are we to tell the kids what to do when they get afraid, simply through a puppet show. Let them know that it is ok to be afraid but our strength cometh from God!!!
