It seems like our planet has been enduring some severe weather in recent months. Suffering significant loses of property, and more importantly, lives. First Myanmar. Then China. And, along the way, extreme heat and storms in the Northeast, fires in California and Florida, flooding and tornadoes in the Midwest. It's hard to believe that the changes in weather patterns have nothing to do with the way we abuse the earth's resources.
When we heard about the Boy Scouts who were caught in a tornado in Omaha, Iowa we felt broken-hearted. The Boy Scouts still conjure up old school innocence. It makes us sad to learn that they were watching lightening storms, something we've done, only to see the tornado on the horizon heading in their direction. After the tornado hit the camp, the stories of the bravery and preparedness you would expect from Scouts were uplifting. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the four Scouts who died and the others who were injured.
Life is unpredictable. Have a safe Father's Day weekend.
