A fireman said last night to expect the spot to smoke or even flame a bit for days, but they bulldozed a circle around the fire, and all that's still smoldering is within the circle. My friend Mac and his family still don't know whether their house is standing.Jim Swindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632113399696237695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043126.post-80828740006543682182011-09-08T00:01:08.668-06:002011-09-08T00:01:08.668-06:00Thinking of you, Jim, and all besieged Texans.

I felt guilty for my exasperation with the situation but kept thinking of others everywhere whose circumstances are so very much worse. I will continue to pray for relief there.<br />You have written an excellent poem for the prompt!Ann Grenierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501522748426995035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36043126.post-2684474383254958792011-09-07T19:16:07.427-06:002011-09-07T19:16:07.427-06:00Jim, I enjoyed your Magpie ....

This morning a fire vehicle rushed again (fourth time, maybe) to a minor hot spot about 1000 feet from our house. I have friends who don't yet know whether they have houses to return to. Pray that the Lord will send us rain. Our own house is probably in little danger, but please pray for the whole situation.Jim Swindlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632113399696237695noreply@blogger.com
