The news of the swelling of the Missouri River has been a featured story in the national news. It affects me personally because I live in an area bordering the river. I have spent the past two or so weeks volunteering filling sandbags. When I spotted this article, it brought the situation into a whole new light for me. This is a  heart wrenching story. Prayers to Pinhook, MO and everyone else hit by this event.
