Good morning, this
is Topher from Washington Church of Christ, bringing you a positive message
minute.

Five years ago, on
this very day, an EF-4 tornado caused extensive damage to Henryville Indiana,
spending more than 50 miles on the ground and destroying churches, schools, and
killing three people. A few members from
our church were on the scene hours later as part of a chainsaw crew clearing
the roadways where we witnessed the carnage left behind. You might say, "Wait Topher, that's not
positive!"
Here's the bright
spot. From that moment five years ago I
developed some lifelong friends in Henryville.
One of those friends, Robin Embry, whose home was hit by the tornado, posted
yesterday a tribute video and a song titled, "Here's Our Town." It's a beautiful celebration of the life that
still exists once a tragedy has passed and it serves as a reminder that good
people, places, and times continue to thrive in Southern Indiana. Robin catches the essence of wisdom presented
in James that says,
"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for
you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness." (James1:2-3) No matter the trials
facing you today, take a bit of wisdom from Robin and Henryville, meet those
trials with joy and desire to serve God and others. You'll be glad you did.
