wish for rain in the next week in the Texas Panhandle

Still praying….

The wind gusted 70mph today and the fires started up again in so many places. The REALLY bad news is that we are not suppose to get rain until September. I don’t know how they can possibly predict this but that is what they are saying.

I do believe that without the prayers and well wishes of our friends everywhere, the Great Plains could still be ablaze. So, as I am patting my own back, I pat yours.
Thank you for the rain!

Thank goodness we had rain in the panhandle this weekend-I haven’t heard if all the fires are out and if there is still a high danger(it is going to take more than one rain in the long run)but what a great start-Now we just have to make sure everyone is safe in the rain around Dallas!!!

In our neighborhood we have had 7 inches of rain since midnight last night with more big storms on the way. Many streets and homes are flooded. Cars have been washed away in flash floods but luckily no one has been killed.

I dare say our drought is over. Hopefully some of this made it to the Panhandle to put out the wildfires.

Just yesterday we had our regular Lenten service here in the middle of the panhandle. We prayed for rain and asked for prayers for all the firemen and countless individuals helping in this massive effort…. We stepped out side soon after and it did rain a little… it gives us hope

The wildfires that are prevalent in Texas this Winter are horrific. Last week 12 people died. In all the time I have lived here this has been unheard of…tornadoes, flashfloods yes- but wildfires???

Huge congregations around the state are praying for rain. Please help by sending good wishes or prayers.

Thank you.

Almost a million acres have burned this week…over 1000 square miles.I just can’t believe it and I can’t believe I am so far away—not that I could do anything but it would just be nice to be with everyone.
