It has been a year of absolutely crazy weather, and I’m not going to forget the pictures out of Lake Delton, Wisconsin, when the rains caused the lake to burst through the embankment and totally drain out into the Wisconsin River. Now I love my home—you probably love yours—so it was hard to see entire three-story new homes just like collapse into the river. People watched their home float down the river. One home owner just said, “Very devastating!” I mean one minute your home looks like it’s going to be there for a long time, and then it’s gone. But home isn’t just a building—it’s the relationships. So how do we hold our home together when the monster waves hit? It might be financial, it could be medical or conflict or tragedy.

So this guy goes into Wal-Mart to get one of those hot, new flat-panel LCD televisions. He had a pretty creative way of paying for it the news said. He switched the price tag of $500 plus with a UPC tag from a water bottle for $3.17. Unfortunately for Mr. Price Swapper, the cashier got a little suspicious of that low, low price for a TV. Yeah, he got caught.

I cannot believe the number of tornadoes that have ripped across the U.S. this year. It seems like every night when you turn on the news, another neighborhood or town or family’s been devastated. One of the most heart-rending was that Boy Scout Camp in Iowa that got hit by a tornado with 145 mph winds. Four Boy Scouts died. But the governor said he thought that a lot of lives had been saved by the way the Scouts responded while they were waiting for the rescuers to arrive. Some of them gave CPR to the injured, some helped stop the bleeding, some kept people from going into shock. Others carried people out in a way that wouldn’t cause more injury. The Scouts they interviewed just said, “Hey, we were prepared.” Yeah, remember the motto, “Be prepared.”

The last time I filled up with gas, I told the lady I was paying that I had a severe pain in my wallet bone. She said, “Do you want a receipt?” I said, “No, I don’t want to remember this.” See, we Americans are some of the drivingist people on earth, but we’re finally slowing down a little. I mean, I’m thinking twice about starting the old buggy; reconsidering trips based on how expensive it’s going to be now. And I know I’m not alone.

Levees the Flood Can't Break - #8078

I’ve been to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. And that is why it was absolutely stunning to see basically that whole downtown under water. Of course, it didn’t just happen there. It happened in several cities in Iowa, and in Missouri. The 500 year flood they’re calling it. It was really devastating! It was almost inspiring to see people of all ages, though, in some of those communities, just working together desperately trying to pile sandbags to hold back the water. In some places, of course, the levee was just no match for the flood.
