southern california's going up in smoke!
i didn't realize how large these fires are or that they're everywhere. just look at this *MAP. you can see the direction the smoke is blowing also.
i also had no clue where the fires were at exactly in the san diego area. i just got word from a good friend that his family's house is right in the middle of it. they evacuated last sunday and have no idea if their house is still standing. goodness! please keep him and his family in your prayers. their dogs ended up stuck in their house as well, so they don't know if they're okay either. i remember just last christmastime when he was all happy to be home because they just got a new stereo system with their big screen tv. but i'm glad they were able to get out early enough at least.
this year's been a tough one for a lot of people. keep them in your prayers.

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
