A small rural town about 20 minutes north of where I live was hit by a tornado and I went to help remove debris with the Boy Scouts and some fellow church members. As I was chainsawing away, I started to think about how at any given moment life can be drastically changed. The man in the top picture is 91 years old and he was hanging onto the toilet and his 7 year old grandson when the tornado hit. He moves slowly, but reacted quickly and saved his grandson's life. We never know how we are going to respond when adversity comes, but this quest for hardiness that I am learning about can help equip me with more tools to be better prepared mentally to handle any and all trials that are sent to refine me!
