Pray and Watch

Lunch with a county commissioners:

Concern about the local fires

A visit with a city councilman

Talk about the fires

Visit to the fire station's open house

Talk about the fires

Driving her to a reported fire

And more talk about the fires

"The city council is going to proclaim

a day of prayer for rain

Maybe they should proclaim everyday

a day of prayer until it rains

Maybe they should declare a day of repentance

You call the station every time you hear a siren?

It might be my precinct

What did they say?

Lady, it's an ambulance

You should see the big trucks the forest service brought

Have you seen the helicopters?

I've seen a lot of pictures and reports on facebook

 It went all around the Eicke's house

But Eddie plowed a fire break and saved it

The Chandlers had to evacuate

Their house is ok

Our fire burned right between my place and Bill's

We never left

Fought it with shovels and water hoses

The county boys bladed around us

I have CRP on 3 sides and across the road

What should I do?

CRP is the worst.

Mow as close as you can

Short grass isn't so bad

Who's bringing all this food and water to the station?

The community has been great support

There are 9 fires going right now

Yes, we are tired

Most of us were out all night

Did you hear the radio just now?

That driver can see three fires

He wants to know which one to go to

Remember Elijah?

He prayed until it rained

And he kept sending his servant to watch for clouds

Remember?

We should pray

We should pray until it rains

Pray and watch for clouds

Pray and watch

Pray and Watch"
