Flooding in Iowa

-

"We're just kind of at God's mercy right now, so hopefully people that never prayed before this, it might be a good time to start"
-- Don Zeller, Linn County (Iowa) Sheriff in response to the flooding of the Cedar River.
Adam and Allegra, my son and daughter-in-law live in Waterloo, and were a part of the sandbag brigade to save their city. Allegra's grandfather, who was staying at an area campground, escaped the floodwaters by kayak, but lost his camper and his wallet.
Please pray for the dear f0lks who live along the Cedar River.

    Thinking of Adam and Allegra, Mark, as we will close the doors on our little church on the Miss. on Sat. morning. We are abt. 30miles north of Hannibal MO. Dannie removed the bolts holding the pews last eve. so that people from "sister" churches in the area can come and help us move everything out to safety on Sat. a.m. Quite sad..not knowing if we'll ever get to go back into the building. God is speaking "volumes" nationwide, don't you think??Happy Fathers Day to you..Blessings, Shirley Kirby

    Oh my - - - thanks for this reminder. When you aren't going THROUGH the flood waters yourself, its far too easy to forget about those who are.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
