a heart-breaking story


It's sobering to realize how one's life can be torn apart, without
warning, in a fraction of a second.
Tuesday morning we had just crawled out of bed
when there was a faint rumble and the house shook...we
were startled but assumed it had to be a sonic boom...if only
that had been the case.
In that split second, we later found out, a local family suffered devastating
injury and loss.
You can find out their story and how to help-- HERE.
Thank you!

  11. We had a similar explosion in our town a couple of years ago, killing an elderly woman. It was a gas explosion, but not propane since she lived in town. The house, like this one, just exploded into rubble. Praying for this family!
