A F5 tornado touched down in many parts and are completely destroyed. The county I live in, had the second highest fatatlity number. The only good thing is that all of us have came together to get through this hard time. We have all been out of power for almost a week now, some still dont have it. Many people drove around asking what was needed and how they could help. I am proud to say that I am from the south. <br />
<br />
There are shirts being sold that proceeds go to help tornado victims. <br />

We had Ashley Goertemiller, an author come. She talked about behavior and discipline techniques (kinda like a christian supernanny.) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YMyUUWfiZ-8/TaXRg_wdJ-I/AAAAAAAAAEM/862sfWSE-U8/s1600/workshop1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234" r6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YMyUUWfiZ-8/TaXRg_wdJ-I/AAAAAAAAAEM/862sfWSE-U8/s320/workshop1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She has 5 kids and her husband is gone to Afganistan, so she pretty much is a single parent.. She uses different "behavior boosters" to kinda teach her children manners, discipline etc. She sales these boosters either on her website or at the workshop. Even though my child is only 10 months and cant really use them now, when he gets older I will definately use them. She made great and interesting points. If you know me, you know that I would like to discipline my kid without spanking or anything violent. I dont believe in it. These "boosters" help teach your child great things while having fun, and they're also learning about God. Each game comes with a bible verse.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Her website is: <a href="http://www.behaviorboosters.com/">http://www.behaviorboosters.com/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
