The air reeked of smoke near both my Colorado and Nigerian
homes yesterday. Continued attacks on Christian churches in Jos, Nigeria have
become an unfortunate reality. The latest suicide bomber drove past security
checkpoints before taking and injuring innocent worshippers. I haven’t heard if
anyone from the Faith Alive Hospital was directly affected. Ah, the destruction
caused by people.
It’s also becoming a scary reality to look west of Fort
Collins, Colorado and see a plume of dark orange and brown smoke drifting away from the High Park fire. I can’t complain about sweeping ash off my back deck
because thousands of people in the foothills have been forced to evacuate their
property as many homes and structures in the fire’s path burn to the ground. Ah,
the destruction caused by nature.
Please keep both places and people in your prayers.
On another note, thanks to everyone who donated to or
purchased items from Saturday’s annual Faith Alive garage sale.
