Latest Storm Chase

Check out the blog on www.tcs.net for the latest (and best!) tornado intercept storm chase.

Sadly, I was far, far away in Atkinson, NE- and quite nearly missed the whole storm. (Except when it hit at 4am...but that is a story we care not to tell another day, right girls?? ;)

The CYIA Team heads out early tomorrow morning! Please pray!

Unconditional Love

"Be persuaded, timid soul, that He has loved you too much to cease loving you." A. Fenelon


"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." 1 Cor.13:5-8

Some questions to ask ourselves:

As believers, are we called to love as Christ has loved us?

If Christ has loved us unconditionally, how must we do the same--in loving our brothers and sisters in Christ, in loving our enemies?

When asking a little girl in Sunday School "Who is our neighbor?", she always answers "Everyone is our neighbor!". That is so true...our love is not only for those who can return it, but for those who cannot and will not return our actions of love.

How can we love others unconditionally as Christ has loved us?

It's been a big thought in my mind recently...especially as I see "believers" returning evil for evil, or spite for spite. Puffed up, behaving rudely, seeking only that which satisfies them, easily provoked, thinking evil of other members of the family of God, rejoicing in a brother or sisters iniquity...ultimately living a lie, because love is absent from their lives. Who do they serve?? Why are there so many factions among believers?? That's an easy answer: SIN!!!

But Christ has redeemed us in a glorious way...can we not live in a way that reflects that unconditional love He has for us? Rejoice in truth! Bear all things! Believe all things! (That, yes, Christ has unconditionally loved and redeemed you!) Endure all things! Love your neighbor!

Just some thoughts... :) Who do YOU serve...and does your neighbor know?

The T's & M's reunite!

A happy Morgillotson reunion...
Where David gives an awesome recital, graduates at the top of his class, climbs mountains, plays volleyball, and learns to tie his shoes...among other things. :)





Congratulations, David!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



(I have no idea where these guys came from...)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saturday morning, the guys woke at the crack of dawn... their plan of events for the day:
1.Clomp around upstairs and wake up the girls
2.Climb rocks at El Dorado Canyon
3.Stay alive
4.Come home for David's party
5.Play lots of games of volleyball (stiff competition I tell you! ;)
6.Eat lots of good food
7.Stay up 'til midnight just to say they pulled an all-nighter (Morgillotson tradition)






Midnight
madness...



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Saturday agenda for the girls:
0.Wake up at the crack of dawn to guys clunking around in the kitchen.
1.Do all the guys' chores: haul chunks of concrete, take out trash, put up tables/chairs etc.
2.Eat chocolate
3.Make lemonade
4.Talk, play volleyball, take pictures
5.Go to bed at an unreasonable hour...only we (R&K) made a more profitable use of our hours leading up to midnight, unlike the rest of our siblings. ;)


Consoling ourselves with chocolate... ;)

~:: My Sis & I ::~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lemons! And other such noble endeavors...
(i.e. miscellaneous and oddly photographed people and events)

Ryan loses his head over the prospect of a nap before dinner...
Sarah gets "the look" once again...
...but is happy that Michael T. lets her use his camera!

...and David too.
"Keep the rope tight!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Sad Morgillotson Farewell...


(all but Sarah...who secretly amused herself
with thoughts of stowing away
to the great plains and rolling hills of Nebraska in the old blue buick)

Thanks, dear friends!! We had an amazing weekend! Love you all! --The T's

Storm Chase!

The TCS Storm Chasing Team ventured out into Western NE yesterday for some adventure! This time we headed for some promising storms on the CO/WY/NE border. After driving around western NE for a few hours, we finally found something brewing over Lake Maconaughy. It was a fairly mild storm, but had some pretty clouds and a few raindrops. ;) On our way back on Hwy 30, we met up with a beautiful lightening storm, making the long trip worth it for some awesome photos!


The Storm Chasing Crew!






Some pretty clouds- no raindsrops yet. :)


Taking a break for some photos, somewhere out in the middle of NE...
