On April 27 and 28 tornadoes, hail, and high winds devastated parts of our plains and south. Words of comfort or consolation seem hollow at such times. But we can help. Please pray for those who lost loved ones, property, and, perhaps, everything they possess. As we pray, view the devastation through these images:

The Red Cross responded not only to the victims of these storms, but also, as a result, to the victims of floods occurring in Alabama and Florida. Their blog also provides a concrete way for us to help.

Let’s remember to pray for the people affected.
