Union University

I am sure most of you have heard of the disaster that occured at Union - the tornado and the damage - and NO loss of life!! What a miracle that is. Thoughts and prayers going out to all the Union U students and faculty for a rapid recovery. They definitely had the good Lord watching over them the other night

While I'm certainly glad to hear that a small community of young adults was spared any deaths, when you add the last sentence, it makes it seem as if the 50+ people who were killed last night didn't have the Lord watching over them. I believe the Lord was watching over everyone.

I was only referring to the university - a large group of people in one concentrated place and no deaths is miraculous. Yes - my heart goes out to all of those people who lost their lives in other places and agree that the Lord was watching over everyone.

I saw it on the news this morning. A girl was recalling her horros of hiding in a bathroom with a bunch of other students and praying for their lives. There was so much debris in the air her pockets were filled with shards of glass. It is a true miracle all these kids were OK!
