Life is PRECIOUS

Today tornadoes ripped through Tennessee. Many people are now without homes and loved ones. One moment life goes on life normal and the next thing we know is that we are running for cover praying that we will live to see the next day. Tonight a tornado hit Union University destroying dorm and leaving people with nothing. One of my best friends goes there and she told the story to us tonight. This is what she said. "Hey yall,
I cannot describe what life was like tonight. I can now say I have been in the middle of a funnel and survived by the grace of God. I left my top floor dorm room and went to a friends in the first floor of the building across from us. About 10 minutes later me and ten other girls were squeezed in the bathroom/hallway of the dorm. The tv said we had about 15 minutes before it would hit so we took one last look out the window of the bedroom right next to the bathroom. I saw the funnel coming towards us and the next thing I see is blue and green light all around me. Later found out that was the lightning in the middle of the funnel or the tornadoe. We screamed and somehow the pressure and the wind oushed us all back to the bathroom. This all happened within a split second. My head felt like it was about to pop, the pressure was so bad. Glass was flying everywhere. The ceiling fell in and water was falling on top of us. A couch fell on top of one of us, but she is ok. It was pitch dark and what was left of the ceiling was falling in on us and water was filling up the bathroom. We were in the bathroom for about 40 minutes. We looked back in the room we were in when the tornadoe hit and it was no longer there. I survived by the grace of God. Firemen helped us out of the rubble and i will never forget what I saw next. The bathroom wall that we were in was the last wall standing of our dorm room. girls were being dug out of the room next to us. It was unbelieveable. Everysingle girls dorm room was ruined, but my building was hit the hardest. I have not seen my room but I have been informed that it is no longer there. I have to go , but I wlill finish later! Pray!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Crazy huh? I think we all take our lives for granted and for many of us it takes life threatening situations like these for us to realize how precious our life is. I wish it didnt take events like this to wake us up.
