Like a Thief in the Night

We woke up this morning to the news that a major storm had bashed Florida. Normally we don't have any kin in Florida, but this year Sue's mom and dad are wintering there. So our ears perked up and we used Google Earth to find out how close they were to the path of the storm. They appear to be okay, the storm was north of them, but as we watched the news the pictures showed a Church building completely destroyed. The only way to identify it was by the steeple which now lay on its side on the ground. As the cameras were filming, the people from the area began to gather around the former "church" building. The newscaster said something like "there is a great example of the spirit of people. It is not the building that is the church but the people." "and the church is gathering to rebuild their meeting place"
Wow, all that from a news anchor. I could not have said it better myself.

I was in Tampa and the line of severe weather passed just to the north of the city. Back home now and the temp is 23 and it snowed about an inch here today. Didn't know M & R were down there. Where?
