Union, dearest Union...



My dear alma mater Union University was hit by an F4 tornado on Tuesday evening. The pictures and videos of the school are pretty heartbreaking. Some of the buildings where I spent 4 of the best years of my life are completely gone. It's so miraculous that every single student survived! The school still has a very long road ahead of it and there is much work to be done, but I've never been so proud to be a Union alum than these last few days. Every time a student or faculty member was interviewed, they always gave God the glory for protection and grace.

All this to say, please keep Union in your prayers: the faculty and staff, the students as they try to process what they have experienced, and particularly the President, Dr. Dockery, as he tries to lead the school. There are also ways to donate money and resources. Below I have posted a link that will take you directly to Union's disaster relief webpage. Please consider what you can give and what you can do to help.
