Thank you for all the prayers for my brother-in-law and his family regarding the fires near Mt. Shasta. It looks as though the fire is headed west and will not reach them…for now. Please continue to pray that the fire will stay away from them…and also that it will be brought under control soon, and not harm anyone else.

I was going to go up to Mt. Shasta this weekend, but Hwy 5 was closed due to the fire. It’s always a mixed bag of emotions for me going there, because on the one hand, I enjoy the beauty of Shasta and it’s surrounding areas. On the other, I don’t enjoy being away from the fam. So, not going this weekend was okay by me, because I got, and get, to see Ryan and Janine…
