We are in constant prayer for all the disasters happening in America and around the world. I do not know if I have ever seen so many weather disasters at once in my lifetime. My hometown of Windom, Minnesota has been hit hard. We thank KDOM radio for the photos. KDOM is all about LOCAL NEWS COVERAGE! I saw on Facebook yesterday of flooding in Grants and Gallup, New Mexico and in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area. Lord have mercy!

Minnesota flooding………..
Heavenly Father, as we try to comprehend the destruction that flooding causes to people’s lives, our hearts grieve. We ask for you to be with all who have suffered loss in floods. For those who have damaged homes, we pray for shelter and community. We thank you Lord for the people that are helping those in need at this time. We thank you for looking after all those that are working so hard to help others. Father, we pray that the waters will recede today, we pray for your Will to be done in all of our lives, in the loving and mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Last night I got a text from my sister-in-law Denise that they are having to leave their home in my hometown of Windom, Minnesota. Her and Dave live in the house that me, Dave, Deb and Daryl grew up in. The basement is full of water, almost up into the first floor. The water heater is floating in the basement. My bedroom was downstairs. My sister Deb who lost her husband Paul, just over a year ago, says her basement is full of water. Deb lives in Reading, Minn. It looks like all the crops have been destroyed on her farm and all over the area. Devastating!
In 1969 we had the flood of floods in Windom, I am told by my friend Dave Field, former Windom newspaper reporter that this flood may pass the devastation of 1969. That year we had to move out of our house for about 2 weeks. Our water well at the house was no longer any good. We had to get hooked up to city water at that time. My dad, assistant Fire Chief, and all the fireman were so very bust during that time sandbagging and pumping water out of basements. I will always remember that little Civil Defense pumper pulled by a fire truck that pupped a lot of water out of basements.
Sharon and I weep at the devastation not only Windom. We thank the Lord for all the people coming together to help each other during this time. You gotta love how people pull together to help each other! Glory! StarTribune Report on Minnesota Flooding
