My aunts apartment got struck buy lightning. It fried her phones, TV's,
washing machine, her work lap top, her routers and modems.
Sarai and Rosie, Proverbs 3:5,6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths."
