If you have read Out of the Wind, AND you ever have ordered anything from Amazon, won't you please consider going to Amazon and writing a positive review? I would greatly appreciate your support. |
Kaio Magazine was, until recently, a teen magazine, published by Focus Press. After the Joplin tornado in 2011, I was asked to write a short article for a publication about enduring suffering. Most of the article is below, and I used some key components of it in the text of Out of the Wind. He’s a high school senior, in the hospital after receiving broken bones, punctured organs, and other wounds, after being lifted from his house by a monster EF-5 tornado that carved its way across Joplin, Missouri, on May 22.
While it's often said, especially during the Christmas season, that it's more blessed to give than to receive, receiving love from brothers and sisters in your time of need is never out of season. We are eternally grateful for the compassion of strangers.
