Wild Fires

Low humidity, high winds and no rain are West Texas worst nightmare! We are a tinderbox just waiting for the next wild fire to strike.  God is good and many homes were spared last night as the wind whipped the fires from one pasture to the next. Our son and his family live on what use to be the 96 Ranch, one of the oldest ranches in the county. The fire raged all around his home and for several hours we were very concerned that they might be burned out. I called my daughter and mom and emailed some friends to start a prayer chain...this circle can't be broken, as the fire raged all around their place and they are still standing! Praise God!
Now I wish he would hear our prayers for rain. Keep praying!

That is something else. God is good. You can see his hand in this one. No pasture to burn now. You Guys watch close because you have that pasture near you.
