I would like to ask for prayer for Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas. We are experiencing severe drought conditions with winds gusting to fifty miles per hour. The electrical lines are blowing together, creating sparks and fires are breaking out everywhere. Many homes have already burned and several people have been killed.

Fires are all around me and the air is filled with smoke. It is terrifying. I also fear for my mother who lives alone 150 miles away.

Please pray for moisture and God's protection.

[Smile] You got it, Smile! I pray for showers of blessings in whatever form you need them. May He shelter you and yours in His arms, keeping you safe from all harm!

You have my prayers too, Smile. I hope your mother will stay safe.

While we're praying, lets add one for the people in Southrn CA who are having such terrible flooding right now. My brother lives far enough from the water and in a flat enough place that he shouldn't have a problem. But many of the people he knows are not so fortunate.

Thank you Song and Jackie. I will continue to pray for the floods in CA.

There are fires all over the state and I think at least ten houses burned in my town today. The fires started around Thanksgiving and have never stopped. Today was the worst. There were twenty fires in my town alone and many more all around and statewide. I know some died in the last firestorm, but I'm not sure how many have died altogether.

We are grateful for help from Alabama, Florida, Tennesee, and others who came to help.

It's supposed to be slightly better tomorrow, but get worse Tuesday. There is no rain in sight. Dan turned on all the sprinklers and the wind is dying down, but I'm almost afraid to go to sleep.

Oh, Smile, I am so sorry you're having to go through this. I read in the paper this morning about a town that lost 90 homes and many lives. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Be safe, my friend.

I just heard about this on the news this morning. I didn't realize you lived in this area, Smile. I will pray for protection for all involved, for the fires and the floods. I believe Chickadee lives in OK. Has anyone heard from her?

My brother lives very near Ringgold, Tx and he said the town is gone. Some newscasts have shown the destruction from the massive fires. Our high winds,low humidity and no rain have made the situation very grave. We have never experienced such fire hazards as so many others have. Please remember in your prayers all regions of our country who are experiencing such tragic conditions. LL

Chick, it's good to know you're fine. I have a friend who lives in OK and have not heard from her. I pray she's alright.

I'm praying for our world. So much devastation and so many lives suffering for different reasons! May God bless and keep safe all His children.
