Wildfires are a wakeup call

Every day trumps every other day.

 The Colorado Wildfires of 2012 are so distressing; if only our collective tears could put them out. Imagine losing your home, everything you owned...unimaginable, right? It's difficult to wrap your head (and heart) around even being in harm's way like so many of our neighbors. What would you take? What would you leave? Click on the link below to hear what Ray Caraway and family experienced as two-time evacuees, as I wrote in my monthly community column in "The Coloradoan" on June 28, 2012:

  Evacuees 6-12.mp3


 Ray commented afterwards when I checked on his family's well-being after reading the Bonner Peak residents were back on pre-evacuation notice, "Absent another flare-up on the northeast side, we should be okay. The Hewlett Gulch Fire may have saved us!"

 God works in mysterious ways.

 Thanks for stopping and listening!
