Wild Fires

We have lived in Houston now for 6+ years and in our first year we experienced Hurricane Rita.  Having moved from central Texas this was a new weather experience for our family.  So, we have become accustomed to the June-Oct hurricane preparations.  This year with the drought we are facing something new...Wild Fires.  Living in a forest with a record drought year has made the perfect conditions for wild fires in our area. 

Please pray for our friends over at Grafted the Movie who had to evacuate their home Monday because the wildfires were approaching their home.  They have not been able to return and are still awaiting news of when they may return.  We pray that the wildfires do not reach their home and for those firefighters who are working day and night to put out this raging fire. 

While we are about 20miles from the fires we have begun to see smoke on our trips to the store as the wind has changed direction.  It produces a very strange looking cloud that doesn't look like smoke from a distance.
