It’s Raining!

Posted in Thoughts

The rain has been steadily falling since early this morning. What a wonderful sight!! Ironically, there are many people in the area that are complaining about the rain because it is messing up their plans for today. Either they’re clueless or they don’t care about what’s been going on in our area. That made me think about how many times we complain about things that “mess up” our lives, but in reality, God is using those things to make our lives better in the long run… I know there are many times that I need to look for the silver…

Another Brush Fire Update

Brush Fires & Dead Laptop

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Our area was experiencing highly windy conditions today. Unfortunately, this lead to several brush fires in the area — including one right behind us. Thankfully, we have water between us and the land behind us. We won’t really be able to see the full damage until tomorrow. There are no houses in that immediate area. There was also another large brush fire that lead to the closing of a major bridge in the area. We haven’t heard about the extent of the damage from that one. The major brush fire, several miles from us, continues to burn and they are…
