Checking the headlines this morning, I see that the loss of life from yesterday's tornadoes has been far greater than I thought last night.

I know this is not exactly appropriate for Wednesday of Holy Week, but I'm going to go ahead and write about these while they're still fresh on my mind, having watched the second of them last night. My wife and I watch a lot of movies together, but she's not necessarily interested in some of the…
