Arkansas Skies

My boy Dane and his boy Merrick went on a road trip to Fayetteville, Arkansas.

They camped a bit on the road and had a lovely time.

Even had a little rain. But who’s afraid of a little rain–right?

Ummmmm….until it changes to a bunch of this nasty looking stuff and we get this text from Dane:

Next I get a scary, very emotional call from Kortney, at home, saying that the guys are in the hotel and the sirens are blaring, the power is off and they’ve been evacuated to a lower hallway. They are crouched on the floor, in the dark with their heads against the wall…praying.

Sent the message out to the ENTIRE family to please, PLEASE, PRAY!

We watched the weather service and it was not looking good. They were expecting the tornado to rip the roof off of the hotel.

Praying. Praying. Praying. Praying. Praying. Praying. Praying. Praying.

Dane is comforting his terrified 7 year old saying, “Be brave, Merrick. Heavenly Father will protect us.”

Then, the miracle happened.

The weatherman said, “Well, would you look at that?! Sometimes a tornado will take a sharp turn and go the other way, for no reason at all. We call that a hook.”

A hook that completely went around Fayetteville.

We call that...a miracle.

Our boys are safe.

Thank you Heavenly Father for being so good to us.

Prayers work.

 

Tucker & Glenn

One thing about my sweet Daney boy–is that he is now, and has always been a Patriot. I believe we all are, in this family–but Dane especially.

So, when Tucker Carlson and Glenn Beck came to town–of course we were there!

Tucker has been doing a month-long Live Tour with all sorts of amazing people.

Robert F Kennedy Jr., Dan Bongino, Charlie Kirk, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Russell Brand, Megyn Kelly and tons more. All sorts of awesome people with the same type of message– God, Family, Country.

We were the lucky ducks who got Glenn Beck right here in our neck of the woods.

If you’d like to see any or ALL of the wonderful interviews just go to Tuckercarlson.com and scroll down to the Live Tour. They are all there. Particularly loved Russell Brand and Charlie Kirk.

One Little Life

I have always loved this poem. In fact, when I was a teenager, I took a blank book and pasted a bunch of poems into it–and this was one of them. I read it over and over, so many times that I memorized it without meaning to. It reminds me that even if we think our time and our effort and our lives are small and insignificant, Heavenly Father still sees us. When we truly love him, He knows.

Father, Where Shall I Work Today?
by Meade McGuire

“Father, where shall I work today?”
And my love flowed warm and free.
Then He pointed out a tiny spot
And said, “Tend that for me.”I answered quickly, “Oh no; not that!
Why, no one would ever see,
No matter how well my work was done;
Not that little place for me.”And the word He spoke, it was not stern;
He answered me tenderly:
“Ah, little one, search that heart of thine.
Art thou working for them or for me?
Nazareth was a little place,
And so was Galilee.”
