lasagna, podcasts, & a tornado warning


Friday, July 27, 2024,
A day of food preparation and catching up on a few podcasts.
A stay at home day except I had to make a mad dash to the nearest grocery store.
I did my "big" grocery shopping on Thursday but, of course, there were items I forgot.
I was making homemade lasagna for our Saturday night family dinner.

I listen to podcasts while I cook and clean my house.
It makes the chores go quicker.
I was catching up on John MacArthur's series on The Tribulation.
So interesting!
He is an amazing scholar and teacher of God's Word.
He handles the truth carefully and presents it masterfully.


Does anything make your home smell better than a pot of green peppers and onions 
sauteing on the stovetop?


Here it is all done and chilling in my fridge.
The smaller one on top is gluten-free for Lucy...
(a labor of love).
Lasagna takes a good part of the day to make and assemble.
It is worth it when ingested.

Being tired and ready to relax,
I sat down in my Stress-Free chair to watch a DVD movie...
The Chosen.
It didn't turn out to be a stress-free evening.

It didn't look like we would receive the nightly thunderstorm so prevalent in the last few days.
When David called and said,
"Are you alright?"
I said "Yes, what's up?
He said,
"Savannah is under a tornado warning, 
the sirens are going off all over the city
 and we need to take shelter in a safe area of the house."

A tornado had been spotted out in the marshes on the Southside.
I didn't know any of this.

What ensued next was a frenzy
We all started texting each other to check on statuses.
One text was coming in on another.
My movie was still going and I had to power that off.
I never went to a safe place.
By the time I got a semblance of control of the situation, the danger was over.
The lightning and thunder became a circus in my house again.
I could still hear a low rumble later when I was drifting off.



Thanking God again for His mercy and protection.
Nobody was hurt,
no destruction was reported.
Just another wild and crazy thunderstorm in South Ga.
This one came fast with no prior warning.
🌪
