You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

We have 2 wildfires within 5 miles of our home. Parts of the town are being told to prepare to evacuate. Strong westerly winds (bringing fire in our direction) and dry thunderstorms are predicted for today.

Please pray.

Thank you, so much. We are still in our home, waiting and watching. If all goes well, we have 3-5 more days before the risk of losing structures passes.

And so we wait, watch and pray.

Most fires these days are using http://www.inciweb.org for updating fire info. So thought I'd pass that along in case you didn't know about it.

So very frightening! Praying for your safety, those around you, and the men and women who are out fighting the fire.

Thank you all for your prayers. The evacuation advisory was lifted last night, whew, fire now 36% contained.

Yet another new experience of the wild, wild west.

Glad you and your family are ok, Tami! I was wondering about you this morning... this seems to be an unusual fire year.
