Tuesday we were greeted by cooler weather. No rain, but lots of wind, which has been disastrous for the fire fighting efforts that have been going on for so long now. The last I heard, over 1200 homes have been destroyed, along with countless thousands of acres. We are actively helping gather and distribute food and supplies to those who are homeless now. My heart goes out to them and all the brave fire fighters and emergency workers. They have all been without adequate sleep for so long. We keep asking ourselves how long can this go on, but the fires refuse to be satisfied, consuming everything in it's path. Whole towns are being destroyed. They are telling us this is the worst drought since 1854. Water restrictions are mandatory now, and with no rain in sight, we are all wondering how much longer we can go with the lake levels so low. Everyone is praying for rain. It is hard to understand the "why" of things sometimes. But I do know that the land and all of the wild things are crying out for rain. I would like to ask, if you care to, that you join us in lifting up prayers to God to send us rain to quench the fires and refresh us.

I am so sorry about all of the devastation cause by these wild fires and hope and pray you get some much needed rain soon.

I have been hearing about the wildfires on the news for some time now; what a frightening situation this must be! It's ironic that places in the East are suffering from too much water, and yet Texas and other southwestern areas are in dire need of it. It's hard to understand why things are the way they are sometimes.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and all the people of Texas.
Oh my Jenny,
You brought tears to my eyes.
I have been watching the fires on the BBC News, and thought of you.
You have my prayers......
Thank you all for your good thoughts, but most of all your prayers. They are most appreciated.
Dear Jenny, you have my prayers. I hope those terrible fires stop soon.
How awful for everyone.
