Please Pray

Yesterday my parents watched as their entire lives were consumed by a raging fire. The picture you see here is of me and my mother as we first came on the scene. Pictures, mementos and all the things she held dear has been reduced to nothing but smoldering ash. The brave firefighters fought the blaze for nine hours but sadly, it was already too late when they arrived. My parents, both 60, walked away from their home owning nothing more than the clothes on their backs.

Please pray for my mother. She really needs to be lifted up in your prayers right now.

I bore witness to my childhood home, built by my grandfather, being eaten alive by a greedy and hungry fire. I felt violated, angry and hurt as I watched what was once recognizable become unrecognizable. My heart feels much like the house looks now. Charred and barren.
