    British Columbia is on fire...

    Hi Everyone,

    Can you please all say a prayer for my province and all the people and animals that have been displaced by a terrible fire season? We are fighting over 800 fires and it's only getting worse, and many people are evacuated with no idea when they can go home. There are also many pets that have been left behind when people are evacuated (I can't imagine leaving my pets in a house that I knew was in danger of being burned down ) but there are wonderful people going behind the fire lines trying to rescue all the abandoned animals.

    I would appreciate all your good thoughts!!

    MANY prayers! There are people in Lilooet that have to evacuate - many can't afford the gas to drive to Kamloops a couple of hours away.

    I pray everyone and their pets are all right!

    Goodness, those pictures say it all! Good thoughts and vibes for all the people and their pets! I just don't think it is right that they have to leave the pets behind, they are family too!

    My prayers are with you, your province and the firefighters. Ive been way too close to huge fires so I understand how scary the situation can be.

    That's scary for sure. Prayers going up for everyone involved and, of course, all the animals, too.
    Blessings,

    Prayers for everyone dealing with the fires. Wishes that the rain we are having would cross the mountains and help out. My gardens and walk are swimming from all the rain, I don't need any more of it.

    It's strange, isn't it! My parents live in Calgary and my mom said it has been rainy and cold there for quite a while. It's very odd for the west coast to get weather like this. Luckily I'm not in any danger where I live but everyone in the Okanagan is at risk.

    Yes, where Nomi and I live, we are fine and in no danger at all.
    I heard on the news this morning that we are getting help from expert fire fighters from as far away as New Zealand.

    Wolfsoul (Jordan) lives where the fires are. Check in Jordan if you can.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
