I have been reading about the fires in California. My mom and dad both grew up there and I have relatives (not in the area of the fires) that still live in california! I can't help but feel so blessed and proud of the amount of relief our church does for these people, all people...not just members! I am happy to know that if there is a disaster where I live... I will not have to feel alone! That is a great thing, because I think it is only a matter of time before we have to struggle through something scary and tragic! My goal is to be better prepared myself, so when something happens... I can be "the aid" instead of "the victim."

Kira and I lived in Florida when the four hurricanes hit florida and it amazed me how organized the church was right after the hurricaines hit. I volunteered to go help with the clean up and it was amazing to see our churched converted into aid stations. The gyms were full of tarps, food and water and anything else someone whould need. We went to people's houses and helped them in any way they needed. It was really eye opening.
