Our house was hit yesterday by one of the tornados that touched down in Arlington, Texas. We have been getting lots of calls from many of our friends who are concerned and want an update. Please understand that things are crazy here right now and we have not had time to respond to every call and email. Here is a brief update.
Good News: First, our family is safe -- no one was hurt. Second, our office in downtown Arlington is untouched. Bad News: My house was damaged and the block we live on in South Arlington was hit pretty hard with major damage and some totaled cars. We were spared the worst. Our back porch deck was leveled and some trees from my neighbors' back yard ended up in our front yard. Our power is out, our roof is damaged and will need to be replaced but no leaks!

Please pray for all the families in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area that have been hit much harder than us. We are blessed to be able to have been able to take temporary shelter in a motel but many others are not that fortunate. Pray for our church and others in the area that are responding to the disaster with food, shelter, and cleanup. Please pray for the financial hardship this is placing on many families, businesses, and churches in the area.
