Standpipes and Storm Shelters: The Story of Butterflies and Miracles Continues

Jaxon James Morris II is a very angry man. At first, relocating his family to Southwest Missouri had seemed just what they needed. Then their safe little world had been shattered by the deadly EF5 tornado that roared through their new home town. He'd been trapped and helpless, able only to watch in horror as it all came crashing down on them. Now his children's insistence that "butterfly guys" came to save them only fuels his fury. Now his wife and kids are gone, terrified of the consuming rage he can't control. Now Jax is terrified, too. Will his shattered leg ever heal? What if he's never able to walk again? Has the monster that took everything they owned taken everything he loves as well? Now he just exists in an isolated FEMA trailer, haunted by the desolation of disconnected electrical standpipes and no-longer-needed storm shelters. Then strangers come knocking at his door, and God sets in motion events that will change his life in ways he never could have imagined. Standpipes & Storm Shelters is "the rest of the story" of Butterflies at the Window. This is the account of the Morris family, still struggling to find hope after most victims of the Joplin Tornado have found homes and jobs and healing. This is the on-going saga of the McConnell's commitment to use all that happened to them to bless others. But most of all, this is the testimony of God's faithful pursuit of those He loves, even when they don't want to know Who He is.
