A tornado touched down in several small towns not far from us here in Virginia.<br /><br />Such disasters always make me reflect on what's really important in life. Helping others, for one thing. <br /><br />Of course the Brits didn't know the wedding would coincide with a disaster here, but I'm impressed, too, that the royal couple didn't want gifts but wanted the money to go to charity.<br /><br />All most of us can do is pray that the victims will get the help they need and be comforted. Most of us have no idea what they're going through--unless we've been through something similar. I can't think of anyone who would want to experience such a disaster! <br /><br />I've always believed that the test for those of us not afflicted is how we respond to those who need help.<br /><br />I always enjoy your comments on my blog. (Some day I do hope to figure out how to use codes!)<br /><a href="http://annbest-jen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann Best, Memoir Author</i></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-74453122778679626552011-04-29T16:09:40.807-04:002011-04-29T16:09:40.807-04:00Beautiful post, your heart is certainly in the rig...Beautiful post, your heart is certainly in the right place.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04219479223227928561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-46839228130716272772011-04-29T14:27:28.268-04:002011-04-29T14:27:28.268-04:00I had to educate myself about tornado's as in ...I had to educate myself about tornado's as in Germany they arent happen very often.

The Royal Wedding; there were no main channels talking aobut the tornado.
