Joplin, Missouri

For those of you who know me personally, you know that I have an Aunt and Uncle who live near Joplin, Missouri.  For those of you who didn't know that, and are followers of Jane of All Trades, Maggie Jane is the aunt I am talking about.  As most have probably heard by now, several tornadoes touched down in Joplin last night and created a whole lot of devastation.  This morning we are very thankful that my Aunt and Uncle and kids are fine!!  They were in Joplin yesterday until about 4:30 in the afternoon, they were at several of the stores that are no more.  They are a bit shaken at that knowledge, but thanking God that they are all okay. 

If you have seen any of the pictures, you know that things are pretty bad there.  There are many still missing, and 89 dead so far.  Lets keep them all in our prayers.
