"When I look back in my life, I've discovered God mostly in nature. In the three times I have experienced tornadoes I have never felt so small and powerless to the bigger force at work. I DO NOT believe God to be the tornado (or any natural disaster for that matter) destroying property, the environment, and possibly lives. I believe that to be the earth, which produces such events to restore equilibrium, in the name of science. In all my reflections I see God in the beauty of the extremes; the complexity, the tranquility, the unpredictability (although sometimes not in my case), and through the miracles and relationships built because of the destruction it caused."
