"Frame-It Friday"

Because of the Blogging from A-Z April Challenge, I put my weekly "Frame-it Friday" posts on hold for an entire month. So, to reintroduce the self-created meme, I'm posting one more video of the Nashville Flood. These images were pretty much the only ones "framed" in mine and many others' minds this week.


I'm so very proud to call this city home.

Remember Nashville

If you watched the news at all this weekend, you might possibly have seen footage of the bizarre weather that Middle Tennessee received over 48 hours.  It's angering to me how little coverage the national media has given this disaster.  Many have lost homes and several lost their lives.  This has been so surreal to see and experience.  Even though our home is on a hill and we are fine, others in our community and surrounding areas were not as fortunate.  Our rain gauge measured over 18 inches of rain by Sunday evening.  Unbelievable.

Thankfully, the rain has stopped;  but, rivers are still rising and devastation continues.  Many popular landmarks, such as the Opryland Hotel and historic Second Avenue, are all flooded with several feet of water.  Please remember the people of Nashville and its suburbs in your prayers today.  For so many, this will take a long time to clean up and process.

Here are several videos of footage from the weekend:











My husband took this video of streets surrounding our neighborhood:

And lastly, the phrases from Chris Tomlin's song, "God of This City," are repeating in my head:

You're the God of this City

You're the King of these people

Greater things have yet to come

Greater things are still to be done in this City.
