On April Fools day Jeri & Chris' business burned to the ground. At about 5:30am a neighbor pulled
up in front of their house and started honking his horn. They were wondering what in the world was going on. (Thank you JD) They got up and Chris went to get the fire truck since he's on the fire department. Another neighbor had called 911. Jeri ran Kristyn over to Chris' brothers house and she said "I just shoved her in the back door and said here" She called me to let me know so I got dressed and headed over. She said the barn was gone when they got up. Just as they ran out the back door of their house the windows blew out from the heat. As you can see their house is VERY close to the barn but Chis had built this barn very well and thanks to the Hindsboro fire department their house was unharmed.
Absolutely was the Lords hand in that.
Kristyn wrote her dad the sweetest note this morning telling him how she worried about him and his job. Kristyn had some of her toys in the barn like her bike. We thought it was gone but low and behold they found it and the only thing that needs replaced is the seat. Kind of hard to believe that it survived after all that heat.

I will keep them in my prayers. You tell them that God never closes one door without opening another and grander things are coming their way! The most important things are still here- them and their home. It could have been so much worse! Bless the Hindsboro fire deptartment. I personally think they are the best bunch of guys around. Tell Krystin not to worry about her daddy and his business- God's got his hands on his shoulders and will see him through it all.
Hang in there!
Craig and I drove out the the church this morning when we went to get the mail. I couldn't believe it. How many storms has it seen out there in the middle of no where? The guys just got the yard cleaned up this weekend for mowing and we got to do it again! Limbs down and sticks, but nothing hit the house or cars.
