Mary and Chip,

You "two" are cracking me up!

Happy mother's day to you too, sweet Maryb!

Thank you for carrying over the prayer about my husband's schooling. I want to share that we have received some good news in that arena. Although it looks as though he will have to take an additional 7 classes we were never told about, it does look like he will be able to "test out" of some of those and not have to pay so much for each class.

Further we just qualified for an additional scholarship that we won't have to be paying back (Good thing, cause we are already into this degree some 30k dollars. Ugh!)

Anyway, it looks that even though things aren't as EASY as we would like them to be right now, they are still working out.

Praising God for His goodness and answer to prayer.

At least 11 die in Missouri, Oklahoma as new round of tornadoes rips across Central US

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Associated Press) -- A tornado that spun across the Oklahoma-Missouri border killed several people as severe storms raked the nation's heart Saturday, taking at least 11 lives, mangling buildings and trapping people in rubble in the storm-weary region.

At least six people were killed as the tornado flattened the northeastern Oklahoma town of Picher before the funnel struck about 15 miles away near Seneca, Mo., and killed at least three, authorities said.

The death toll in Oklahoma could climb, said state Emergency Management spokeswoman Michelann Ooten. The tornado in Picher _ a depressed and pollution-scarred mining town that many residents had already fled _ caused major damage in a 20-block area, she said.

"I know they are going through the rubble, trying to find people missing," she said. "There are numerous injuries."

At least five people died in southwestern Missouri after the storms plowed through, the National Weather Service said. Three people died after the Picher tornado hit near Seneca, about 15 miles away in Newton County, said meteorologist Bill Davis.

Other tornadoes were reported near McAlester and Haywood in Pittsburg County and in rural Pushmataha County, both in southeastern Oklahoma.

Television footage showed some destroyed outbuildings and damaged homes west of McAlester and near Haywood. At a glass plant southwest of McAlester, the storm apparently picked up a trailer and slammed it down on garbage bins.

"These are rural areas that we are in," Pittsburg County Undersheriff Richard Sexton told KFOR-TV in Oklahoma City. "These are good people coming together at this time."

In storm-weary Arkansas, a tornado collapsed a home and a business, and there were reports of a few people trapped in buildings, said Weather Service meteorologist John Robinson.

Central Park Elementary School in the northwest Arkansas city of Bentonville had roof and window damage, and damage was also reported at Pine Creek Center School.

The storms remained active into the evening as they swept eastward, with watches and warnings abundant across a wide swath of the Plains and South.

Rescuers were trying to free a man trapped in his vehicle in western Tennessee after a tree fell on it during thunderstorms, Memphis firefighters said.

Tornadoes killed 13 people in Arkansas on Feb. 5, and another seven were killed in an outbreak May 2. In between was freezing weather, persistent rain and river flooding that damaged residences has slowed farmers in their planting.
