Joplin 2 years later Remember 5-22-2011

 
Joplin 5-22-2011
 
Two yeas ago if you lived in Joplin Mo your life changed.  Not just some of the people, everyone that lived there.  The picture above was taken from he middle of he Tornado ravaged area.  I was not in town that day, I had just flown home 24 hours before.  But I have many friends that live there still to this day.
One of the most amazing things that became  clear from the storm was the community.  Make no bones about it this community believes in God, faith, prayer and their community.  I had the great pleasure of working with individuals that gave their heart, time, energy and love to serve and support the rebuilding of he city.  The wonderful thing is they wanted no attention, no honors or payback.  They did it from their hearts.
To have friends like that helps you see what is really important in the world. 
Thank you Joplin for modeling on to over come adversity, and rebuild a city from the ground up.
