God's hand and crazy southern weather!!

Wow wow wow that's all I have to say, no doubt God's hand is in this trip, so to recap the last couple hours. The four of us veryyy smelly men rolled into Cedars of Lebanon State Campground around 11:30AM Tenn time. At 1PM as I checked us into the camp site I overheard the radio broadcast for a severe thunderstorm warning with large hail rolling strong due east our way, as I drove into the campsite I heard the first boom of thunder off in the distance, as I looked at our little tent, the fear of blowing away in the middle of the night in a strong gust of hail and wind flashed through my mind.

Now fast forward 32 minutes and we are now packed up, heading west on I40 towards Memphis, the weather outside is terrible, with pouring rain and gusting wind, so it is such a blessing that by chance I overheard that radio announcement and that we were able to get out in time =) And just to add to the good vibe taking place right now, we are traveling WITH our $18 dollar camp site refund, plus two (free) warm showers for Luke and I, and two hours of sleep for Jesse and Tom. As I was driving back to the campsite with the bad news of incoming weather, I noticed a sign at the camp with John 3:16 written on it. Hmm encouraging =)

P.S: Once again what is with these friendly southern people? The friendly camp ground attendant looked me in the eye, and apologized for the bad weather as she refunded our campsite haha. Like she had any control over it? And I could tell she really did mean she was sorry we were getting rained out. Wow I continued to be impressed with the really friendly people in the southern part of this great country. On other notes, now this rain just needs to remain drivable.
