With Isobel's post, I was reminded of a song from Baptist Vacation Bible School that had the line in it "See the fire burning Lord, Somebody touched me" And I got wondering if someone is writing some new songs that capture these days. Then I thought of 2 old ones from the composite song book: Pentecost Hymn and Prayer . . .

Dear colleagues on the Way,
<div>
The Australian colleagues are thinking about you as you suffer and grieve over loss of life and property; with the onslaught of the bush fires on your west coast.
</div>
<div>
We understand the horror and pain you are experiencing, coming from our own horrendous past summer.
</div>
<div>
Thinking of you all,

With our fondest love,

The smoke is seriously no joke. We closed up all the windows days ago and aren’t letting the kitties out, but even with an air filter, the smoke is giving me headaches. 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.

<div>
But we’re lucky. 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.

And some rain is predicted for Thursday night and Friday. We may run out and dance in the streets.

Just wondering what the front line news about the fires is from folks living in CA, WA, and OR. We're thinking about you, wondering how you are doing, and hoping you are staying safe. The news media accounts of neighborhoods destroyed and intense smoke air pollution is heart-rending.
