Prayer request

I just received an hysterical phone call from one of our old neighbors. She was sobbing so uncontrollably that I had a hard time understanding her. But the long and short of it is, our old neighborhood is going up in flames even as we speak. She was crying because her husband hadn't made it out.

Half an hour later we were able to confirm he escaped the flames, presumably with the clothes on his back and nothing else. But we learned homes of two neighbors have already burned down, and if the wind doesn't shift, the whole neighborhood will go up in smoke. Homes, livestock, gardens, forests, fields, hopes, dreams.

I'm shaking as I'm typing this. One more day -- just one more flippin' day and the weather would have turned. Tomorrow temperatures are supposed to plummet 25 degrees and a chance of rain is moving in.

But it's too late for our old neighborhood.

Please pray. Pray hard.
