What a Day!
Posted: April 10th, 2009, 11:52 am
Yesterday and today I worked at Oakwood University, a Seventh Day Adventist university. I work part time with the Huntsville Convention and Visitors Bureau and I help register people for conventions and conferences. The university is having their Alumni homecoming this weekend.
Today about 2 PM the weather sirens sounded and we were told a tornado was in the area and we were to go into a U shaped hallway in the middle of the building. Normally, people would be scared but this day was most unusual. Everyone was talking and laughing as we all stood around in the hallways. Suddenly from somewhere a group of students started singing praise and worship songs! Oh my goodness! You could feel the holy spirit just fill that place. There was absolutely no fear!
When it was finally over and we were told we could leave we saw hail on the ground the size of baseballs. My car has several dents in it but nothing else damaged. At my home a few twigs were blown off the tree and the trash can was blown over. No other damage.
One of the songs the we sang as we waited out the storm was "What a Mighty God We Serve." I certainly can say amen to that!!
