I'm sorry to bring this up again, but the fires are back. Today we lost 7,000 acres and five houses. The fires are not near me at this point. The worst are about 100 miles south. At one point the wind was blowing embers a mile ahead of the flames and setting new fires. It is costing $100,000 per day to fight the fires even with volunteers.

The snow was a help, but it did not cover the state. We still need prayer for drenching rain. Of course we also have to be concerned about the floods that might result from the lack of vegetation.

Thank you to all who have prayed.
