You know the saying, ‘All good things must come to an end’. And it is true. But the napkin quote today is also true, ‘All bad things must come to an end, too.’
We have had a wicked week of weather. The town of Joplin, Missouri is only 125 miles from my town. As most of America knows, it got hit a few days ago by the most damaging tornado ever measured in the last 60 years. There are 123 less people in that town today, all killed by the tornado. Yesterday the weather situation in Oklahoma was terrible as well. 8 people died in the Oklahoma City area, about 100 miles from Tulsa.
That sort of destruction and life loss is a terrible thing, a bad thing, to live through, witness, experience or just watch. But just as good things don’t last forever, these bad things are now passed as well. The damage lingers, but new life and new determination to overcome emerges.
In our case we were very lucky. Storms passed but didn’t have the ability to suck in enough energy to become tornadic. We had our emergency plan, which included bolting across the street to our neighbor’s underground storm shelter if a tornado was coming. Luckily that was not the case, though we did spend about 15 minutes in our bathroom with our pets just to be sure.
