Keeping you all in prayer.  Our cream colored skies here are caused by the smoke high up in the atmosphere.
Take good care,

I think most of Oregon is like here in Ashland — everyone who can be is in lockdown and then there are the worst off who’ve been evacuated and are living in their cars in parking lots with no escape at all from the smoke.

The majority of those who’ve lost their homes here in So Oregon are those on the low end of the socioeconomic scale — whole mobile home parks have been razed, the fire is not yet contained, most non-essential businesses are closed, there’s little to know public transport running. On the upside, donations pour in to several locations, the schools and several churches are providing food and shelter, everyone from cellphone companies to massage therapists are showing up and volunteering services to those in need.
