I heard about it on the news...even saw pictures as well. But nothing could really prepare me for seeing it in person last Friday. It was devastating to see in person.
I had to drive to West Memphis, Arkansas last Friday and got to see lots of the flooding as I drove (see pictures below). It was devastating to see home after home after home flooded...and field after field after field flooded as well. Especially knowing that many of these folks are farmers and will not likely be able to get their crops in any time soon.
I am talking about the flooding in Arkansas. Last week we had severe storms followed by about 12-14 inches of rain over a few days. This has caused the White River and several other rives in Arkansas to overflow their banks in historic proportions. In Eastern Arkansas, the Mississippi is also causing widespread damage as many of you may have seen on the National News.

As you take a look at the pictures below, don't just look but become a "participant"! By that I mean, as you are looking, take time to pray. Pray for those affected by the flooding. Pray for the Body of Christ to come in and help in a way that makes Christianity attractive to those who do not know the Savior. Pray that God will work miracles and do supernatural things that ONLY He can get credit for - that He would indeed be glorified (His Name made famous) in all that is happening!
