God's Voice of Warning
By Anne Mundy

Three of our children were at Mammouth camp. Brian had just gotten back home from a business trip. It was a normal night. Jacob went to bed and Brian and I went to bed later on. Jacob came in our room in the middle of night. He heard something and was afraid. He said it sounded like a siren. I didn't listen too hard and told him to climb in bed with us and not worry. This is the first time that night the Lord tried get me up.

A little later on I woke up and we were in the middle of quite a thunderstorm. The lightening was none stop and the wind was really blowing. Any other time I would get up and go out in the living room, turn on the TV and check the weather. This night I decided that everything was fine and I went back to sleep. This is the second time the Lord tried to get my attention that night.

Around 5:30 in the morning I woke up to our dog scratching on our back door. We lock him up on the porch at night. I laid there and thought he'll stop in a minute, and then I thought Brian will hear him and get up. Neither happened so I got up to tell Bomber to stop. As I was walking out of our room I saw a light and thought Jacob must have left a light on when he got up. I walked out into the hall and realized the light wasn't on in the hall or the bathroom. As I came out of the hallway I saw that our hot tub, that sits on our back deck, was blazing. I yelled at Brian and he came out. I called 911 and Brian started to put the fire out.

Everything worked out fine. The hot tub was destroyed but the house was alright except for a little damage to the roof over the deck. Another five minutes and it would have been a different story. I can just hear the Lord that night. He said I'll send Jacob in and Anne will hear the tornado sirens and get up. He new I wouldn't be able to go back to sleep while we were under a tornado warning. I didn't listen to His warning so He tried again. I always get up when there is a bad storm and check the weather, not this night. Now, He's probably saying OK I'll use Bomber that will get her up. It sure did.
