Thanks, MP, for praying for us here in the Burning Lands (Western U.S., not just California). I’m weeping (when I’m not coughing—the terrible air, esp as it effects those of us w/ asthma, or worse) for one of my favorite hiking areas, which has been blackened. Yes, Nature can repair itself—if we get rain. When, Lord, rain, and more importantly, SNOW? Please, this winter, PLEASE!!! Amen. Keep the first responders—and all affected animals—safe. Amen.
