I want to take a moment to apologize to each and every person I have come into contact with through my life. This may sound odd, but I would like to ask your forgiveness for something. You see, I’ve spent time and energy, two things I don’t have in abundance and neither do you, on [...]

On April 26, 1991, I was a 14 year old high school freshman. I was moving out of the child-like fear of storms and beginning to have more interest in what made these things happen. The year before on March 13, a massive F5 tornado and struck the city of Hesston, KS, causing a massive [...]
