Sometimes



Sometimes bad things happen. 

Sometimes horrific, terrible, frightening things happen. 

Things that don't make since. That make bring more questions than answers. Things that make you angry and scared. 

Sometimes these bad things bring out the absolute best in people.


They show you how wonderfully compassionate and caring people can be. 

They show you the resilience of the human spirit. 

They make your heart over flow with love for your neighbor. 

Sometimes bad things happen. When these things happen you have to remember them, no matter how painful or uncomfortable that may be. 

On the anniversary of the tornado that physically tore apart my state, I try to remember how the tornado brought my state together. I try to remember all of the beautiful, wonderful people I met. The people who traveled hundreds of miles to help, who sent donations from all over the country, and who donated lunch to volunteers.


Please say a little prayer today.
