My son and I drove out near Bastrop the other night. Saw the entire horizon glowing a sickening red. I know it’s been a tough time for everyone affected by these fires and the rebuilding is going to be even tougher. Hearing stories about firefighters working day and night to provide some relief–even after some of them have lost their homes, even though many of them are volunteers–makes my heart burst with pride for them. If you haven’t already, it’s so easy to donate to the relief effort online–less than 1 minute of your time.

My thoughts continue to be with those who have lost.
