Day 6 from the road…(Tornado Warning!!)
Well tonight’s post will be real different. So today was our day off and it started out pretty peaceful and relaxing. Erin and the girls did the pool thing with our friend Cortni and her two kids. The guys and Alex had a little pool time as well. I went to Starbucks and had a little time preparing to lead worship tomorrow morning @ Grace Community Church and next week @ Creed Camp in Anderson, SC. My buddy Jason and his bands bass player Aaron came up and hung out with me @ Starbucks for a little while. Then we went and picked up lunch for our fams and came back and hung out around the pool. Ed took a trip back to Nashville to see his buddy Micah, then the rest of the day we all relaxed and the hotel and rested.
Then….tonight we went and ate dinner at the Blackhorse, our favorite restaurant in Clarksville. As we were eating dinner, Jeremy Bullock, a friend of ours who joined us for dinner with his wife Kelly, said there is a tornado warning for Clarksville and it should be here around 7:30. It was 7:05 when he made this statement and we were 15 minutes from the hotel. So we all packed up and made our way back to the Holiday Inn Express. As we pulled in we all were like, “yeah it looks worst behind us not here”. So we all went to our rooms on the 2nd floor. As Erin and I were in our room we heard a lot of commotion outside our door, it turned out it was Isaac saying, “get my shoes” and Alex his wife saying “I am so scared.” Then a knock on the door and everyone saying there is a tornado right outside the window at the end of the hall. So we all ran down, saw the funnel, then grabbed kids and phones and went to the lobby. Yes I can actually say, “I saw a tornado” so I am good and don’t need to see another one again.
Now let me clarify, it was outside our window about 3-5 miles away and it did not touch down, it was just a funnel in the sky. Either way, scary and I have had my share of Tornado’s. After our hearts stopped racing, many funny moments occurred such as Brooks leaving Angel what when she hears it will be a scary voicemail about said Tornado. That along with us all reminiscing all the funny moments when the Tornado was first spotted. We have many funny pictures I will post later, we forgot the chord that attaches our camera to our computer.
I want to say thank you to all who have been praying for our safety and protection, on a night like tonight you really feel those prayers. I ask you to continue to pray for that along with strength for my voice. It was a little weak this morning and I have two services to sing for in the morning, followed by a week of camp, then a buddies wedding to sing in and church next Sunday. Pray for Erin, she had a bad case of indigestion tonight after dinner. Pray for the hearts of the people at the church tomorrow and camp next week that they will be ready and open to worship God with everything they have.
I will write tomorrow hopefully with awesome stories of worship and not Tornadoes!!!!
