As the waters rise in Jasper County and other places, say a prayer for your neighbor (and we are ALL neighbors) and a prayer for those who are out trying to help others save their homes and places of business.


I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
GENESIS 9:11

Sarah...Is that a picture of town? I haven't talked to my parents in about a week. I had no idea it was that bad at home. I did watch the news this weekend and they showed all the rain Indiana was getting...

You are so right!
It seems a little scary right now, but I am trusting in Jesus and all will be right.

Did you learn that as VBS?

Very true, we are very lucky to live in a small town where your neighbors will still come to help a person in need.

Tracie-that is north of town heading into the river bottoms. I have more pics that I will post soon. I took those Saturday early afternoon and it got higher after that.

I would assume your Dad has been putting in a lot of hours along with the rest of the city workers.

I have heard a lot of people say this is the worst they have ever seen it.

Yes, I did call home this morning and Dad had already left for work...ON A SUNDAY. Not sure what he is doing exactly.

I can remember a time - ONCE - when it was flooded just outside of town...between the river and the Finn's. But never this bad!!

I will be looking for more pics from you.
