Natural disasters top our snow fall

As a child you played in the mud. You would dig into the mud with a spoon, a shovel, whatever you could get your hands into. Now people in Brazil are digging through the mud to pull the bodies of neighbors, friends and family from the mud.

So far at least 610 people have been killed in Brazil from the flooding and the mudslides. Keep them in your prayers because the numbers are only going to keep rising.

There are people loosing their friends, their neighbors, their family. Some of them are the only survivors and have nothing left. I heard one story of a families baby being swept away while in his crib. Who knows if that baby survived.

While these bodies have been pulled from the rubble its estimated that the total of 610 dead could double.

Not only has there been flooding and deaths in Brazil but also in Australia. Nearly 30,000 homes and businesses were damaged and at least 26 people were killed.

While we've been receiving mounds of snow there are people in other countries being bombarded with tremendous natural disasters, keep them in your hearts and prayers.
