Lightening Strike

Lightening hit our house Tuesday night right after we had gotten home from Mitch's karate class and I was starting dinner. Frank, Mitch and I were in the kitchen, and Megan was upstairs when it hit. The strike came in through the side of the house and hit the wall between our master bathroom and bedroom. In this picture you can see the hole it left in the wall. The drywall from this hole flew about 15 feet and landed near my side of the bed. We also found drywall nails that had hit our headboard and were laying on our pillows. It literally shook the house, felt like a bomb went off and made a huge mess. Frank and I spent at least 6-8 hours cleaning up yesterday and now we will have to file with the insurance and start the repair process.

We were truly bless that none of us were hurt and that Megan was in the other bathroom. She was pretty shaken up, but a real trooper as well. We've had a lot of storms this summer and I don't complain about weather much because we live in Colorado and we get weird weather, but I am done with rain and lightening for a while.

Please pray for our family as we continue to clean up, and pray for Megan. The hole in the wall is a constant reminder that God is faithful and true and he will keep us safe.
