The Hidden Tornado and Your Automated Home Business

I recently was on vacation visiting family. A few days ago we were driving out west in Kansas when we discovered we were driving into a wall of thunderstorms which were spawning several tornadoes. We were in contact with various weather sources through friends and radio as we drove somewhat blindly west towards the storms.

When you’re driving down the road in the night out west, it’s not clear when to keep going forward and when to pull over to the side of the road and seek shelter. We finally did seek shelter in a church basement for a few hours and then continued our drive out west and did arrive safely at our family’s home a few hours late---our children had quite a story to tell!!

Later the next morning my wife and I were walking around the small town my folks live in and discovered that there was a lot of tornado damage that most people in that town were not aware of. Indeed a tornado had skirted the town and caused minimal damage. 100 yards over and 50 feet lower and the town would have been devastated! It was sobering looking at the close call.

I thought about the close calls we have in life that seem or are catastrophes whether it be personal or business. Sometimes you have minimal damage and realize how bad it could have been. Sometimes the damage is devastating and you just have to pick up and start over. Most of the time we don’t even know how close a call we had --- the mercy of God has simply protected us.

So if you have had a devastating hit on your automated home business or a big setback, take courage like the survivors of the big tornados and start rebuilding. If you have had some storms but no real damage to your business, remember my story of the near miss of the tornado and be thankful that your life has serenely gone forward. Keep doing your best and give your automated home business your best creative effort every day.
