I just called my friends' parents, who live in MA, and learned that my friend and her family are out of danger, praise God!

smile and all, I am praying for moisture and protection for everyone.

How are things looking today?

You are always in my prayers anyway my dear friend but this time i'll be praying for the land all around you and the other states as well. Between the flooding and devistation in California and you with the draught and fires, there is much to pray about.

smilinize, I send my prayers to you and all others in the area. I wish I could send some of this rain as well.

BTW, we're OK. Most of the SoCali flooding is in coastal areas and I'm 20 miles inland.

Good to know you're Ok, Meredith!
Praying for all involved!

These "natural disasters" are happening too frequently..I am praying for all of you dear ladies in the affected areas...I wish I could do more to help you besides praying...Smile...it hurts my heart to hear you say that you are "terrified" I pray you stay safe and begin to feel safe very very soon...please keep us posted!!! ((HUG))

I guess there simply is no safety in this world. The fires continue to burn everywhere. They have a daily briefing from the coordination center and the numbers vary from ten to twenty and more every day. There is no rain in the forecast for the next two weeks. We are just a tinder box waiting for a spark. I have never seen it this dry.

I spent most of the morning trying to get someone to my Mom's house to cut down the cedars and the grass in a field near her house. There have been so many fires all around her and around me too.

The wind that was blowing electrical lines together has died down at least for today, but people continue to smoke and even the spark from a cigarette held outside a car can start a fire. A cigarette butt thrown out is almost certain to start a fire. Smokers are being arrested for that all over the state.

We're all just skating through the fires on prayer.

Smile...
What a nightmare...I'm so worried about you all and your Mother too...I'm praying my heart out for rain to start there and stay..
Come to Pennsylvania and stay with me until it's over...I wish I could help!!!

Smile, I'm so worried about you. I'm keeping you close in my heart and praying for your safety, as well as your Mom and entire region.

How I wish I could send you just a few inches of the snow and ice that covers everything I see here...that would surely douse any firestorms! But since I can't, I'll pray for the miracle God knows you and your neighbours need today.

Will be keeping you and your family in prayers...be safe.
