Thankful.

While I sit here in the studio getting ready to start my day, I am so grateful we are safe, and we have no property damage.  The sun is coming out, and I am thanking God we were spared. Tuscaloosa was spared, too, thankfully.  I am also grateful for your sweet emails.  Your concern for me and my family is so touching!

Central Alabama had another deadly tornado outbreak overnight and early this morning.  Too many folks were not as fortunate as us.  They could really use our prayers and positive thoughts this morning.

Until next time...

Blessings!

  1. I am so happy that it didn't hit you, but sad that you had to worry that it would. And now another one came and caused more destruction in a different area? Incredible. Thank God you and yours were spared is right!!!!
    I do have to say that something very weird is going on with the weather. It usually snows A LOT here, and we had 1 storm, and 1 few inch storm. That's it. And, we were hit with an earthquake a few months ago too, Who ever heard of an earthquake in New Jersey?
    I hope our planet is able to work through these issues. It kind of scares me!
    SOOOOOOOO happy you are safe and sound my friend!

  2. Thinking about you and your family RJ. Thank God Tuscaloosa had no damage. I know that is not the case north of you. We had plenty of time to make our plans thanks to James Spann.

  13. Got online this morning and saw the news reports of the storms and thought of you and your family. Glad that I was able to check here and see that you all are safe. Keeping all of you and your fellow Alabamians (or Alabamans?) in my thoughts and prayers.

  18. Glad you are safe; tornadoes are so difficult. I used to live in OK and that is one thing I didn't like! Hurricanes are predictable but not a tornado!

  19. I'm glad you were too! Sending love and light!

  20. Hey lovely girl,

    I am SO glad that you're okay. Please do look after yourself.

    And I'll definitely be praying for other people who haven't been so lucky.

    Big hug to you, coming your way over the seas,

  25. I have been hearing about these storms. I am really happy for you and your family that you were spared. It really is heart wrenching to think about those families that were not as fortunate.
