Thanks again to everyone! The Lord has been merciful! The fire went sideways last night. My son told me that the sky was black with smoke all around them except over the ranch. The sky was BLUE over them! It was at the same time that I took the picture that I posted.

Last report was that the fire is headed toward them again but I have faith that it will spare them. But I would ask that you keep praying.

I'm sure you've heard on the news that practically all of S. CA. is on fire. Let's pray that the winds die down... but thank God that there has only been one person to loose their life.

Again, *I* am not in danger of burning, not in the path of the fire, but the wind is wicked and the air is full of smoke and ash. It's playing merry hell with my asthma. BUT...

My baby and his babies ARE in the path of the fire... not to mention so many, many other people.
