Last Friday, Greensburg, KS was destroyed by a F5 tornado. We don't live near Greensburg, but we have traveled through it at times. We've stopped to see the Deepest Hand Dug Well there. And that town is just gone. I can't even imagine. It's bad enough to lose your home. It's terrible to have part of a town's business district destroyed. It's unimaginable for homes, schools, churches, the historic downtown area, and businesses to all be wiped out at once. How does a town recover from that? Please pray for them.
And now large parts of Kansas are being flooded. Our town has had to close its flood gates. The capital city of Topeka is dealing with flooding. Kansas City has flooding. And many small towns are also being flooded. I have no idea what impact this will have on the Kansas farmers.
It's easy to read the news or watch it and think "Wow! That's terrible. I'm glad it's not me." -- and then go right on with my life. But today, I'm just sad, knowing that many of my fellow Kansans are struggling today with losing their homes or businesses. Some are only temporarily displaced, but others are going to return to flood damage. And the Greensburg folks are facing a very long process of rebuilding their home and their hometown.
Please lift Kansas and its residents up in your prayers today.
