Well, After working all week digging junk out from underneath more junk, I finally have 10 minutes to sit down and update my blog. For anyone who didn't hear what happened, the same storm cell that hit Tuscaloosa hit our 2nd house in Northwest Ga. It was a direct hit, and didn't leave a tree standing in a quarter-mile radius. The house itself was lifted off its foundation by about 4-5 feet, and the garage and 150 year-old barn are leveled to the ground. Providentially, we were not there during the storm, and our neighbor (whose house is worse than ours) was not home either. There was a lot of property damage in our area, but all the people who were there emerged with only minor scratches. All this happened Wednesday, so we have spend the last several days cleaning up the mess. We haven't been able to get into the house much because it is unstable due to the weakened state of its foundation. We were able to get most of our equipment to start, albeit with some minor frame damage to 2 go-karts. We keep finding random things like tools or toys laying around in the yard. The power company finally restored power to our gate, but it is impossible to get it run to the house in its present condition. Thanks for all the prayers! Its been a whole lot easier with great friends and family supporting us! All this to say, I praise the Lord that no one was hurt, and that there's actually a house still left to try to salvage.

P.S. We are working on the farm today due to the whole "Ox in a ditch" thing. Our ox didn't fall in a ditch, but most everything else did. That was a little poetic license. We don't have an ox.
