An Image from the Past
Most of my readers know about the tornado that destroyed my hometown of Greensburg, Kansas, on May 4, 2007. I grew up on a farm just a few miles north of this town.
I found this photo of the hair salon where I used to get my hair cut. (And my mom was a regular patron, before the tornado.) To know I sat in one of those chairs...wow. The shock still hasn't worn off, even though it has been almost a year. I haven't seen the devastation in person yet. Possibly this summer. I'm not sure how I'll handle it when I do see it for the first time.
If you want to view updates on the progress of the town's rebuilding efforts, I have links on my sidebar.

I actually live in Ohio now, but grew up near Greensburg. Thankfully, my whole family was safe throughout the whole ordeal.
My aunt had lost a home to a tornado 5 years ago, and lost another to this tornado. Life in Kansas is never
boring!
We do get tornadoes in Ohio, too, but Kansas seems to be a prime target.
When we see these images on the news we sometimes don't recognize that it's not just a building that is gone, but something that held memories.
God bless you all, and please keep praying for that community!
