to the ends of the earth.” — Acts 1:8 Back when I was in high school, a tornado touched down close to a house where a friend of mine and I were staying. As it got closer, he ran outside to pull his bike into the house, but as he got out into the yard, the wind picked up dramatically. Trying to get back into the house, it looked like he was trying to walk through wet cement. The terrible sound of the approaching tornado terrified me. I never actually saw the funnel cloud, and I didn’t want to.
