Mother nature again decided to deal a deadly blow to Van Buren County. The storms came so close to our school and we were all dashing to take care of our kids and "adopted kids"! The fear of what could have been became even more real to me as I stood less than a quarter of a mile from school and stared at what used to be a wonderful horse farm and boarding stable, where sadly 7 horses had to be buried. Across the road used to stand a very busy feed store and mill, now unrecognizable to all. Sometimes things happen and you look around and it becomes so much easier to stand in awe of God's power! They can take the prayer out of schools, you can't take it out of the awesome teachers, administration, parents and children who huddled in those school buildings and prayed together to keep them safe!! The tornado turned just enough to miss our school and only leave slight damage. Yet, just down the road is utter destruction to homes, churches, businesses, and sadly lives. Please keep the families who were affected in your prayers as they try to rebuild their lives and regain some sort of normalcy!! Here are a few pictures from the farm and one of the feed mill across the road.
