Thoughts and prayers very badly needed in Alabama

Our area has been hit hard by last night's tornadoes. Thankfully my family and I are fine and our homes are still intact, but many in nearby areas are not. I attended The University of Alabama and I have family and friends in Pleasant Grove - 2 of the hardest hit areas. Please keep the people in our state in your prayers. If you can help, I know most communities desperately need water. Much of the water has been tainted and the water companies are having trouble getting water cleaned fast enough. Thank you for any type of support you can send. I've never seen anything like this in our state.

We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.
