Reading the Smithville coverage this morning is a reminder that any security we have in our lives is a mirage. Within minutes, the Northeast Mississippi town of 900 was reduced to splinters by the EF-5 monster tornado. People (who moments before were worrying about jobs, house payments, health concerns and the many other things we worry about on a daily basis) had their lives changed in an instant. Many weren’t even left with so much as a toothbrush. Sixteen lost their lives.
I know, I know, it’s kind of a morbid topic on a Sunday. But it’s just a reminder that the moment is all that we have. Cherish the memories of the past and plan for the future but live in the moment.
It’s all we can really do.
Amen to that thought Marshall.
