Tornado

You may have heard about the tornado that hit the Little Sioux area, killing 4 Boy Scouts. Little Sioux is about 60 miles south of us, in between Sioux City and Omaha. This picture is not of the Little Sioux tornado, but is a real picture of another tornado that hit in Iowa...pretty amazing what nature can do.

New employee

Some of you may know that we have been searching for a middle school pastor since December, when the one we had got married and moved away. Yesterday, our candidate was voted in by the church and accepted the position. His name is Mike Henry and he will be moving here from Lodi, California, along with his wife and dog. I am super excited for him to get here and boss him around - wash my car, get me lunch, etc. :-). Mike will be my first employee that will report to me - lucky him!! The plan is for the Henrys to be here by August 1. But seriously, I am really excited that he is coming and look forward to working with him.
