Weather Update for Fri and Sat

First of all I want to throw a shout to Korley and let him know that I thank him for stopping by and reading the blog. The weather setup for this afternoon into tomorrow night is not looking good for NEA, but it is not in the worst area. The areas recieving the worst weather should be south and east of the Paragould/Jonesboro area. Now with that being said that does not mean that we will not see any bad weather but the chances are not as good for us. Right now there are already tornado warnings out in central Arkansas. Here is the lastest update from Memphis NWS:

MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK EXPECTED TONIGHT AND AGAIN ON
SATURDAY...

A WARM...MOIST...AND VERY UNSTABLE AIRMASS IS IN PLACE OVER THE MID
SOUTH. THE UNSTABLE AIRMASS IN COMBINATION WITH INCREASING WIND
SHEAR IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE A FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP AND PERSIST ACROSS THE MID SOUTH TONIGHT.
ANY THUNDERSTORM THAT BECOMES SEVERE WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
CONTAIN DAMAGING WINDS...LARGE HAIL AND STRONG TORNADOES. SOME
TORNADOES MAY OCCUR DURING THE NIGHTTIME HOURS WHEN THE DANGERS OF
TORNADOES ARE INCREASED.

AN INCREASED THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXISTS ON SATURDAY AS
A RAPIDLY STRENGTHENING SURFACE LOW TRACKS FROM SOUTH TEXAS TO
SOUTHERN INDIANA. A MAJOR SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK IS EXPECTED TO
UNFOLD SATURDAY MORNING ACROSS MOST OF THE MID SOUTH. THE BEST CHANCE
OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SATURDAY WILL BE ALONG AND EAST OF THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER. EVEN STRONGER WIND SHEAR AND A CONTINUATION OF
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS COULD PRODUCE STRONG TORNADOES...LARGE
HAIL...AND WIDESPREAD WIND DAMAGE. FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS AND A FLASH FLOOD WATCH IS IN EFFECT
FROM 7 AM SATURDAY UNTIL 7 PM SATURDAY FOR THE ENTIRE MID SOUTH.

THE BEST WINDOW FOR SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE FROM NOW UNTIL MIDNIGHT
AND FROM 6 AM TO 4 PM SATURDAY.

RESIDENTS OF THE MID SOUTH SHOULD PREPARE FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND
STAY ABREAST OF THE LATEST FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS REGARDING THIS
POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WEATHER SITUATION. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A
WEATHER RADIO...THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO PURCHASE ONE. IN ADDITION...
YOU SHOULD REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY RULES...KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN A WATCH AND A WARNING...AND BE READY TO PUT YOUR SAFETY PLANS
INTO ACTION SHOULD SEVERE WEATHER THREATEN YOUR AREA.

It is a potentially dangersous situation for the rest of today and into tomorrow. I will update periodically as the storms near.

Getting Closer

Well we are one step close to owning our dream today. The Lord is so great and has blessed my family so much. We are hoping to let the cat out of the bag by this weekend and close on the business by the end of next week. There are big, big changes ahead for me and my family. They are slightly scary changes, but I know God will take us by the hand and lead us through to where he wants to be. If you put it all in his hands, he will provide. Working hard toward finishing this and starting a new chapter in our lives. Stay tuned and God Bless.

God is Great!

The title pretty much sums it all up. God is so great. Kayla and I have been working on something big for a couple of weeks now and hopefully it is about to come true. We have been praying night and day and putting all in God's hands in order to get the answer and the path that he wants us to take. Hopefully in the next couple of days I can reveal what we have been working on and show to the world what God has provided us through prayer. That brings me to a simple question for you, the reader. Do you put all your problems and dreams in God's hands. He has been so helpful to us and he can be to each of you who do not take everything in your life and place it in God's hands. It's going to be a very busy week for us as we continue to try to catch up on our landscaping and lawn care jobs and deal with our big opportunity and get it taken care of and everything completed. God is so great. More info will be coming later as the finishing touches are done and all papers are signed. God Bless.

Who do you go to about your decisions.

This little message just hit me while sitting here watching TV and the Lord is pressing on me to write about it. Who do you go to when you have a decision to make. Whether it be a big life changing decision or a small day to day decision, who's hands do you put that decision in. Do you go to God and ask for guidance or do you just mull it over for a few minutes and then pick something and go with it. Going to the Lord with a decision that is facing you is the best way to recieve the right answer. Though it may not be an immediate answer, it will be the correct answer. Take the weight of that decision off of your shoulders and put that weight in God's hands. Through him all things are possible and the best possible place that you could put anything is in his hands. So the next time you have a decision that is weighing you down and bumming you out, tell it to the pull and let him make that decision for you. He will put you on the right path and give you the best answer to that decision. Have a great night and God Bless.

Spring Has Sprung

Been busy busy as usual for this time of year. Big things are on the horizon for me and my family and through the grace and the will of God shall we achieve it. More to come on that later though. As I sit here at work and get ready to watch the NCAA National Championship game something just hits me. Why can't we get that many Christians in a arena yelling and screaming and cheering on Jesus. I mean we all should be in that position, yelling, screaming, and cheering for Christ and spreading his word. Why can't we get that many people in one place. Now I am not saying that it can't or has not happened. I am sure my buddy Doug Compton has seen areas and auditoriums filled with Christians craving to hear the word and that is awesome. Heck, I was blown away and what it looked and felt like to have 85 at our church on Easter Sunday just a day ago. My point being here, which may be a clear as mud, is why is it so hard to get that many Christians together and pass the word on about Christ and bring a few lost to our great Lord. Just my thought for the night. Pray hard and put everything in Christ and He will provide. God Bless and Love you all.
