I know we got sidetracked last week by the ordeal with Bin Laden, but a week and a half ago we had major disasters around the south. The people are just starting to recover from it. The people who have lost their homes, family members, and jobs need your prayers. Here's a few videos of the aftermath.

These people are my neighbors. One of my co-workers completely lost his church in Houston, MS. They met today trying to figure out where they are going to have service. The latest count of people who have died is 226 in 155 tornadoes.

I love how these tornadoes happen, and everyone gets really upset. The government steps in to help and everything. In the meantime, we've got even more disaster and damage happening right around my area with all of these wild fires, and because Perry and Obama are having a spitting contest, no one's helping out. Not that I dont' feel awful for these poor folk, it's just... not fair.
