Supercells.

That tornado in Arkansas started as a super cell that went over our house at about 2 am. Our hail was only about 1-2 inches, but in Prosper they had softball size hail. I got up and tried to take video of the spectacular lightening storm, and it wouldn't video very well, but I am posting it below anyway...the lightening and the sound are kinda cool. I made Maris turn on the TV and see if we had any tornado warnings, because my kids were afraid that a tornado was going to hit in the middle of the night. I lied and told them they usually only hit in the afternoon. The weather showed the storm as it moved and showed where there were 4 distinct areas of rotation. It was kinda scary. All 3 of our baseball/softball games are cancelled this weekend because the fields are mud. Guess that frees us up!

This is from our front porch. The still picture above is just a random one, not here.

"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
