Amen.

NATURAL DISASTERS
After spending a day in SW Michigan on Friday (less than 90 miles from the tornadoes)—and facing a threat today…Zion offers this Biblical study/reflection on natural disasters from lcms.org

Yes…God remains in control of the weather and disasters. For what purpose—we may not fully understand. Take heart—we are called to Jesus—He is restoring to us eternal salvation!
