This is the home of my sister and her family in Southern IN. She's always wanted to live by the water but this isn't really what she had in mind!! They have been hit by the terrible rains and flood waters in the Midwest. I realize I haven't "blogged" in quite awhile and have lots of pictures to upload and news to update. This isn't really a "happy" updating posting but I wanted to ask for prayer and any type of help available out there for my sister and her family. This is the 2nd time in 24 months this property has flooded but the first time was not to this extreme. They ended up with 21+ inches of water in the home and basically everything on the first floor is a loss.......the appliances(fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer and dryer), her furniture, clothing etc. The master bedroom was also on the first floor. Unfortunately they do not have flood insurance as this is not considered a "flood plain" and it's looking like insurance will not cover anything. Since the first flood they have realized their home and 7 acres are built on a "sink hole"......They have been assisted with some basics by the Red Cross but the area has not (as of yet) been declared a disaster area by the government!!! So please pray for them, pray they will find a home to live in as it is not clear if this home is safe to live in nor are they even sure if it is worth returning to considering the circumstances..........they have 2 large dogs that are being boarded and are ready to be back with the family........pray for resolution with the mortgage company that is "workable and doable" and pray for strength as well as rest, as they try to carry on with their daily work and activities until they have a place to stay........We love you Uncle Keith, Aunt Susie, Jessie and Joe and we're praying for you!!!!
