thinking of the thousands of people in joplin, devastated by a tornado, who are dealing with lost loved ones, homes, and possessions this morning.  in addition to the terrible destruction from last night, they are now dealing with more significant weather this morning.  we are very thankful that our family there is safe, but so many have lost everything.  if you are looking for ways to help, they are looking for healthcare professionals through show-me response and the red cross will providing aid as well.  send joplin a prayer today.
