Excitement in Colorado



Some of you have heard from Karen about the fire at the town where Karen teaches (Ordway). If you haven't heard just "google" for Ordway fire and read about it. Anyway, Karen was able to finally get home about 8:00 last night, safe and sound (but smelling badly of smoke!!). Please pray for the students and families in Ordway that lost their homes and the families of the two firefighters who died. (This first picture is of where their truck crashed at the burned out bridge.) Karen had one of their children as a student last year. So Karen is home for a couple of days while they get the town back going again. And we thought we left the fire danger when we left Southern California!
I've mentioned before how quickly the weather changes here in Colorado. Yesterday, it was 89 degrees here in La Junta and 92 in Lamar where I teach. And tonight there is about a 40% chance of snow here. But we are looking forward to the badly needed moisture.
No news yet about any moves for us. We are still praying that God will open up a job or ministry for us close to family. Thanks for your continued support and prayers.
