I have felt terrible that Linder has been the only poster on T & B lately. It is not that I
don't have any exciting stories to tell, it is just that I haven't had the time to tell them. But sometimes things make you slow down, take a look around and be thankful to God for his blessings. My dear friends Andy and Tacy and their daughters Anna Beth (6) and Alexis (12) got the scare of a lifetime this past Tuesday night. During the severe weather we had, an F2 tornado whipped through their neighborhood and did much damage. There were no human injuries, just downed trees, ripped roofs and shingles, water flowing, car & truck windows blown out, fences gone, the ski boat flipped around, but both dogs, all neighbors and my precious Overholsers are all well. Electric is back, gas hooked up and even cable and Internet in working order. Now just lots of fire wood to cut, mending to mend, and glass replaced and adjusting to be adjusted. Now the O's can always sit back and tell the tale of the family crammed in the bath tub as the sound of a freight train approached and ears popped and glass crashed and "in a flash" it was all quiet again. They said it was so quick that they didn't have time to really realize what all was happening......then you have to look around and see your precious home in shambles. But I bet they will remodel bigger and better and when it is all said and done, they will be stronger 
from it.....stronger in Faith, stronger in stamina and patience and stronger in family !!!
