Every Day Might Be Your Last

My daughter went to spend the night at a friend’s house (her friend’s mom is my friend too) yesterday night. When I arrived at my friend’s house to drop her off, I heard some tragic news: there was a huge fire near where they were living.

Three houses caught on fire. The houses were very close together, and the flames jumped from one house to another. My friend believes that the fire might have been started by a meth lab, the flames were so hot. I know that when our house caught on fire a little less than two years ago, the fire was no where near as hot.

These people lost everything. Even worse, the fire led to a death. There was a bedridden lady that weighed about 500 pounds; she was unable to get out of bed to escape the flames. I couldn’t imagine how horrible it must have been for her.

I do know how horrible it is to have your house catch on fire though. It’s shocking… those kinds of things happen to other people. It’s difficult to go through your stuff afterwards, even if you can recover a good amount of stuff like we were able to.

Please keep these people in your prayers.
