Baby, it's cold outside ......and inside too!

Mike's Uncle John who lives in Midwest City, Oklahoma has not had electricity since last Sunday when the ice storm came and froze up everything. He has lost several trees and his big pine trees so far are saved but only because they are leaning against the house instead of breaking in half. Some of his neighbors had a tree fall through a window into their house. How scary.

I talked to John last night and he said that it was 41 degrees in his house. He has a studio in the back and it is a newer building and better insulated and it was about 65 there, so he thought he would spend the night in his art studio last night. He was thankful to have a gas water heater so he can still take a hot bath, but he did mention how hard it was to get out of the tub into the cold house! Hopefully he will get electricity soon. Please pray for everyone in the area as more cold weather and snow is predicted. Brrrrrrrrrrr!
