so, more bad news around here. northern cali is under seige with fires - one entire whole community of homes is gone...just gone. i heard something like 200,000 acres up there. we had a fire yesterday (still burning) that was about 40 minutes from here that was in my hometown. it was insane. 7500 acres so far. as a believer in the Lord and the Bible, i see hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes worldwide; many states here in the U.S. burning away and then crazy shooters killing people all in a fairly short window of time and i have to wonder if this is the beginning of the end times. frankly, it makes me nervous. not nervous for me, but just nervous in general. i am not derrick, but i do have to really say that things are looking pretty gloomy.
