What’s In Your Heart
“But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”” -1 Samuel 16:7
What’s on the inside is the wheelhouse of your character, not what’s on the outside. Steward what’s inside first, and let the rest of your life stream from that.
Stay safe in the Storm: What to Do During a Tornado
Although today’s going to be a beautIful day, Al is in Nashville and they have been under Tornado watches for the last three days, with Tornados possible here in our future I thought let’s be safe. If you are under a tornado WARNING, seek shelter immediately!
If you are in:
- A structure go to a pre-designated shelter area such as a safe room, basement, storm cellar, or the lowest building level. If there is no basement, go to the center of an interior room on the lowest level (closet, interior hallway) away from corners, windows, doors, and outside walls. Put as many walls as possible between you and the outside. Get under a sturdy table and use your arms to protect your head and neck. Do not open windows.
- A vehicle, trailer, or mobile home- Get out immediately and go to the lowest floor of a sturdy, nearby building or a storm shelter. Mobile homes, even if tied down, offer little protection from tornadoes.
- The outside with no shelter- Lie flat in a nearby ditch or depression and cover your head with your hands. Be aware of the potential for flooding. Do not get under an overpass or bridge. You are safer in a low, flat location.
- Never try to outrun a tornado in urban or congested areas in a car or truck. Instead, leave the vehicle immediately for safe shelter.
- Watch out for flying debris. Flying debris from tornadoes causes most fatalities and injuries
