Many of you have seen the headlines about the horrific fires in Spokane, Washington, which is about an hour west of us. Thankfully, we have not had any major wildfires in our area. Still, with the volatility of the weather and the parched landscape, it has all of us on edge about the possibility that it could happen here. Our hearts are just broken to see the horrifying pictures and stories coming out of Spokane yesterday. The wall of smoke from the fires reached our area about 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon. I took the picture below when it arrived just south of my garden. It was so awful to know that so many precious lives had everything burnt up in that smoke. Over 600+ structures have been lost, and the fires are 0% contained. We have many family and friends in Spokane who had to evacuate, but all of them have reported that, to their knowledge, their homes are still standing. We have been praying for the Lord to protect the homes and lives of all those impacted. This is a situation that is still very concerning, and I ask for your prayers for the safety of all involved. Danielle's sister-in-law is an EMT/firefighter and has been assigned to Spokane to fight the fires. We pray for all of those who are sacrificing their lives and health to work on these fires.
