I was hiking a 7 mile trail when the sky began to darken. I took my earphones out and heard a siren alarming. I knew it was a tornado warning. I was still approximately 1-2 miles from my vehicle. The sky quickly turned black. The sound of trees cracking began and I realized it was hail falling from the black sky pounding everything underneath.

I panicked and began to run as fast as possible but I couldn’t outrun the storm. An amazing gust of wind blew so hard it was impossible to stand or run therefore I immediately took cover on the ground under a bush. My dogs Ruby and Tate instinctively crawled under me. It was like something out of a movie. I hovered over them like a dad would do. I laid there on top of them as they lay still. Hail beat the back of my head and my back and legs. Eventually I looked up at the sky to see if I could run and that’s when a golfball sized piece of hail hit me directly in the forehead.


I was seriously scared. My dogs were scared . I’d never been in this situation before.. We eventually got up and made a fast dash to the vehicle a half mile away. We were a muddy mess!

“Kevin Morrell is a forty-three-year-old husband and father who runs a successful design and marketing firm that’s crashed into the suffering economy. Attempting to navigate the busyness of the mall at Christmas, Kevin is humbled when he stumbles across the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Project. His wife insists that he take a paper ornament.

The name on the ornament is Thomas Brandt, a fifteen-year-old still reeling from the implosion of his family—from years of verbal abuse from an alcoholic father to a mother who finally left him behind, only to find herself and her children penniless and struggling. The only thing has allowed Lynn to survive is her faith. Thomas shares that faith, but he also wonders why God has seemingly abandoned them.

This is the story about a man and a boy one December. A man whose life is changed by a simple expression of kindness, and a boy who takes that expression of kindness and shows the true meaning of Christmas.”

You can pick up a copy today at Amazon.com. Also, be sure to follow Jimmy on Twitter @JimmyWayne, just in case you’ve never seen/heard his video for his single Papar Angels, here it is as well. Enjoy!

Said Wayne,

“It’s easy to try and explain to people what it’s like out there, but until you really see the places where I slept and the people I met … this is going to give people an opportunity to see exactly what I experienced out there.”

“It’s not going to be some downloaded sound of rain,” he says. “It’s the rain I heard on the walk. I want a blind person to hear this thing and be able to see the desert. It’s very artistic. The video documentary and the music are just more steps in raising awareness for these youth.”

We can’t wait to see the finished product!
