Fires


"And when Jesus got into the boat, his disciples followed him. And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. And they went and woke him, saying, 'Save us, Lord; we are perishing.' And he said to them, 'Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?' Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. And the men marveled, saying, 'What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?'" Matthew 8:23-27
"For he draws up the drops of water; they distill his mist in rain, which the skies pour down and drop on mankind abundantly." Job 36:27-28
"God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend. For to the snow he says, 'Fall on the earth,' likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour." Job 37:5-6

hi Katie....the air quality here in Carlsbad has been really poor, it feels like evening almost all day long as the sky and sun are orange because of the smoke. Carlsbad high School is being used as an evacuation site. JD and Bill Brandon went down there today to see what needs the folks had and to see if CCC could be of help. My sister and her family have been evacuated from their home in Fallbrook. They have no electricity and have been able to see the fire from their back deck. Hope tomorrow is better for all of So Cal!! Love you, Laurie

the wind is calmer, the firefighting planes have been able to fly now - God does calm the wind - but still many people have lost there homes and the fires and evacuations continued in some areas - God is also the perfect comfortor! thanks for your prayers - mom
