God is good..... All the time!

This blog is about Stringsattached. My blog entries are always relative to guitar play in general and usually more specifically about the instruction I give here at The Guitar Academy of Blues. But today, I want to talk about my little town of Ohatchee, Alabama. You see this past Thursday afternoon, we were hit with at least 2 tornados. We all knew we were in for some bad weather, we even knew there would be tornados. I watched from my window as lightning was southwest of my house and continued to watch as it moved north/northeast. Suddenly, the wind, which was previously non existent, picked up frantically. I decided it was time to join my wife in our bathroom in the center of our house. Within two minutes, we heard it and then it was gone. Thank the Lord, we suffered no damage. Some debris in our yard from other homes reminded us how quickly things happen. Unfortunately, we lost 4 Ohatchee citizens and 1 72 year old lady in a nearby community. One lost was a man just before his 72nd birthday, the other 3 was part of a family with generations of Ohatchee Indians stretching far and wide.
This community has, it always has from struggles, pulled together to provide for the victims and those who lost loved ones. Among the political turmoil in our society, I am reminded of who is in control. I am convinced the political turmoil will go away. I am convinced of this because I see the heart of the people who live among us.
