Wednesday

“But whoever listens to me will dwell safely,

And will be secure, without fear of evil.”

~Proverbs 1:33, NKJV~

Kerry Ebarb Family

Yesterday afternoon’s bad  weather caused a tree to fall on a house on Ave. H, next to Mrs. Mary Ann Cutrer.  The house seems to be a loss, but thankfully the family is okay.  Four month old twins were checked out at the hospital, but their injuries were only minor.  A two year old was uninjured.  I’m not sure where the family is now, but from the news releases I have read and reports of a neighbor, they lost most of their belongings.  I’ll try to get some more information for you in case you would like to help them in any way.  After seeing the pictures of the home, I know we need to thank God the family is okay.
