The noon news reported that there is currently only 173 fires still burning and out of these only one still poses any danger which isn't much at this time.  Yeah!!  The fire that was burning close to us, is 80% contained and no longer a threat!!   Thank you, Jesus!  Thank you, Firefighters!  They said the firefighters are mopping it up.  (This expression makes me giggle as they  don't really mop it up, lol.)

News being news, and loosing this dire news story, they need to try and keep people stressed.  So they no sooner tell us the fire danger is near gone, so now worry about hurricanes!  ROFL!!!  Don't get me wrong, hurricanes can be scary, but I've lived in Florida now most of my life and have been through lots of hurricanes, my first being David, Andrew to name another, Floyd, Hugo, Charlie, Francis and Ivan, to name a few other notable ones, (please, hurricanes, don't feel slighted if I missed your name) anyway, my point being, that we know how to stay safe and know when to run if necessary.  I predict that the news will go wild shouting all the early warnings they can to keep everyone panicked.  If a major hurricane threatens us, rest assured, that we will be safe, trusting the Lord to see us through this, too.

Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers as these fires raged.  The Lord answered.  The fires are going out.  Halleluiah!!!
