Tell God all that is in your heart, as one unloads one's hearts, its pleasures and its pains, to a dear friend. Tell Him your troubles, that He may comfort you; tell Him your joys, that He may sober them; tell Him your longings, that He may purify them; tell Him your dislikes, that He may help you conquer them; talk to Him of your temptations, that He may shield you from them; show Him the wounds of your heart that He may heal them... Tell Him how self-love makes you unjust to others, how vanity tempts you to be insincere, how pride disguises you to yourself and others. Francois Fenelon |
The Greensburg tornado was a large and devastating tornado that moved through Kiowa County, Kansas, on the evening of May 4, 2007, amid a tornado outbreak across the central United States, causing catastrophic damage to the town of Greensburg. The tornado tracked 28.8 miles (46.3 kilometers) through the area, killing at least eleven people and injuring sixty-three others. The tornado was the first to be rated EF5 on the enhanced Fujita scale after the retirement of the original Fujita scale in the United States in 2007. This photograph, taken for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, shows the destroyed town center of Greensburg on May 16, twelve days after the tornado struck.Photograph credit: Greg Henshall
