Friday the 13th

I was going to post a precious memory of my crowning glories tonight. But, life is what happens when you are making other plans! Spring weather roared in like a lion this afternoon - and my 2006 Ford Fusion has hail damage and a busted out back window! Wow! There was frightening weather in North Richland Hills for a while. I think my heart rate has returned to normal! My daughter lives next door and her Mercedes back window is also busted, as well as the body sustaining damage. You know what? All of those things are fixable. While our nerves may be a little frazzled, our bodies are intact and my soul is at rest.

I have appreciated the calls people who heard about the weather and called to see if I was "okay." Sweet! Friends are priceless.

Check out the picture of the damage:

I close with this thought: I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength - and I will get past the insurance paperwork and deductible cost, the body work on the car, and this night that looks like it will bring more rain. God is still on his throne and I am still his child. Peace to all of you tonight.

Well, hello there!

Welcome to the blogosphere!

Glad to see that only your cars are worse for wear after last night - though now you have to mess with cleaning up the mess!

Kelly and I are up here in Roanoke and all we got was a lot of rain. I guess it was supposed to be rain of the scarey variety because the sirens kept going off.

Welcome again! I'll bookmark ya'!

Oh Melynda. I am so sorry o hear about your car. We had hail here, but only marble to quarter size. No damage.
