BAD WEATHER???

Yesterday, after school, we did our BIG grocery shopping trip (Sam's Club, Walmart, etc). First of all, the boys were totally hoping Sam's had their samples out because they were STARVING!!!! They did, so they were able to shop and snack. We had to buy Rielyn some new tennis shoes because she had blow outs in her other ones and had stepped in dogie poo just one time too many for me. Anyway, we left Longview about 6:00 and watched the beautiful lightning show on the way home. We heard on the radio about tornado warnings but they were all around the Tyler area. We get home, get all the groceries unloaded, the boys take a shower and then I start getting all these text messages and phone calls "You guys OK?" and I'm thinking ..yes, why do you ask. The more I find out, there were not one but two tornadoes that headed straight for Lone Star. We heard a high pitched moaning at one point but nothing to panic us (David is really good about sending the kids downstairs if the weather is bad). It turns out that one touched down in Hughes Springs just about 5-7 miles from us and one in Gilmer. We did have hail, but no visible tornadoes.
On a second note, while reading my book this morning I read something that really stuck out to me "Satan can't stand the word of God nor can he stand up to it" How powerful is that. If we simply armour ourselves with the word of God then Satan begins to flee. SWEET!!!
