Tom and Darlene and Fellow Missbirders
Martha Gail and I dodged a bullet this morning as this awful tornado ripped through our small town of Clay, Alabama.  We were awakened by screaming sirens before 3:00 AM Central time.  We quickly looked at the great coverage on our local TV stations.  The consensus of these fine forecasters was TAKE COVER! 
 
Half dressed (not a pretty sight) we immediately took up residence at a prearranged hallway clothes closet.  It's hard to be brave when sitting on small chair, half naked and in a dark house with the wind howling outside.  The reassuring part of the ordeal was I had my love to keep me safe.  Color me the luckiest man on earth.
 
The tornado ripped our small town to pieces, with heavy damage and some loss of life.  At our home we had almost no damage except to some trees.  We are fine, but have heavy hearts for those less fortunate. 
 
Please do say those prayers for those who are struggling as darkness approaches soon.  Go hug somebody that you care about.  It occurs to me that perhaps we should do that today since tomorrow is not guaranteed.
 
More blessed than we could ever deserve.
Bob and Martha Sargent
Clay, Alabama
