Great Fires Burn

Today as we were driving back from a peaceful visit with relatives south of where we live we noticed a great plume of smoke in the north in the vast distance we were yet to travel, wondering exactly where the fire was.
As we drove north the smoke got closer, only to find the actual fire was burning where we have friends living. Calling immediately to find out if help was needed I found out that one friend has already found out that about 4,000$ worth of precious hay has burned but they did get their cattle moved out of danger. Another friend, well their house was in the line of fire...Still do not know if they were spared or not, got home and found out that a great portion of our town had been evacuated for fear that the fire would spread to their neighborhood and cause great damage.
Tonight I just pray that all will be safe and loss of property will be minimal.
God I ask Your Will be done. AMEN

Ya know what Milton...I did find a red stapler in fact, but tossed it for it stapled horribly! As to where it could be now...well maybe one of the trash guys thought it would be a good asset to take home.
