A Firey Update

Hey bloggers!
This is just an update on the SD Wildfires 2007. I was evacuated at 3:30am on Monday morning(October 22-last week) because my house was threatened by the Coronado Hills fire. My house and family are all safe though. :) Unfortunatley, the worst fires are still burning and destroing thousands of acres, homes and lives. The Witch Creek fire is 50 or 60% contained now and the Harris fire is a little above that, but that's not enough to keep them from harming. The fires are not as bad as they were a week ago, but there are still flames lighting up the sky, and ash and smoke are still being dispersed. Other fires are still burning too, but they are close to being fully contained, and aren't very harmful. I want to say thank you to our fire fighters: without you more of us would be injured, dead(I hate to put it so bluntly) and more property would be gone. You all are amazing men and women and are an inspiration to all! I thank you for your determination, bravery, and sacrifice; it's truly amazing that you risk your life to save others. You are truly works of the Creator. Then to the volunteesr who are helping in any way they can: I also thank you. Many people would be homeless, hungry and thirsty, cold and without comfort without you providing what you can to help those in dire need. May God bless you and be with you. Then to the evacuees: I am truly empathetic of your suffering and that constant fear and wondering. My situation wasn't very bad, but I still know what it's like. My prayers still go out to all those who have lost, and to those who are fighting to keep our country safe and fed. God loves you all, and so do I and I appreciate everything all of you are doing! God Bless each and every one of you!
All my love and hope and wishes,
