Blowin' in the Wind

In a previous post I introduced a young man as Keece (rhymes with peace). I guessed the spelling and I guessed wrong. At last night's meeting he came over to say hello to me and I asked him for the correct spelling. His name is Qis. "Many people think there's a 'u' but there isn't," he said.

Qis

Part of the meeting was about the prophet Samuel when a boy. I asked Qis if he'd like to serve Jehovah as strongly as Samuel did. He is keen on the idea. We arranged to work together in the public ministry in the next week or two.

This morning our cell phone screens displayed a message warning of a possible tornado in our neighborhood. We were told to verify nearby shelters. Hmmm. 

After 10:00 am the warning was lifted and we went out into the pouring rains on errands. I'm still looking for a deal on dress shirts. After our return we learned on local news that indeed a tornado did strike nearby. Nobody was seriously hurt but I post news photos below of some of the damage done. 

 This grey Corolla looks very much like ours, but it's not.

This vehicle was rolled over by the winds.

 This condo building looks very much like ours, but it's not.

As you possibly discerned, today was not a beach day. And, no, I found no deals on men's dress shirts either. Patience. It will come. On the other hand we found, and seized, an opportunity to nosh on a knish for lunch.
