I just received word from a friend of mine who was 2 miles away from the destruction in Vilonia...she shared that some of her close friends were spared but their neighbor lost everything. When they began to help them salvage through the wreckage, the first thing they found was the Family Bible, and it was completely unscathed, not even a speck of dirt on it. Upon finding it, the woman to whom it belonged, quoted Ps 119:105 Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
