Husband and I returning home from errands in another town.
Quick, get a picture of that!
Oh my that looks really evil!
Then things began to rock!
Behind us, our lovely church.
Right in the path.
Reminded that our lovely church building,
is simply wood, hay and stubble.
Here today, and gone tomorrow.
Our people are safe.
One casualty in a business next door.
May his family find peace.
May we love his family and our community well.
These, our pastors words today as we paused to pray.
My daughters words follow;
May our hearts agree;
We are the church.
We are unharmed.
The church is in tact.
This is our meeting place.
It can be replaced.
It can be fixed.
We are the church.
We are indeed fearfully and wonderfully made,
and God our Father never leaves our side.

Deborah, thanks for these thoughts. I pray you all are able to love that family well. There will be needs, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
Trauma like that storm puts lots of thoughts in perspective.
