This is my sister's subdivision... but praise God as of right now her house still stands.  Please pray for all these families that have lost their homes.  Monunment Co. has now been put on pre-evacuation notice.

On our home front, the Pine Ridge Fire is threatening to jump I-70 and if it does, it is a straight shot to Grand Mesa, a flat top mountain that has 1,000 lakes, a ski resort called Powder Horn, and is the source of our water supply. On the south side of the interstate there is over 50 well heads in its path.  Debeque is now starting to get evacuated.  I-70 is being shut down, traffic is re-routed to Grand Mesa Highway 65.  This fire went from 1,500 to 10,000 acres today.

We still see wonderful stories of love and sharing from all Colorado people.  I am so proud of this state! We may be going through a huge trial....but we still love and stay strong.

On Facebook today.

Bless you Firefighters!  Many are going from one fire to the next.  They have to be bone tired.  Lord Bless them and give them strength as they fight for our precious state.

Thanks again folks for your prayers.  We love you all!

Update on Fires.

Things have not gotten a whole lot better we have added more fires!

The Springer fire where my friend is at is pretty much contained, Thank you Jesus!

However, My sister Tammy and family have been evacuated because of the Waldo Canyon Fire, and we have not heard from her since her orginal post.  The town of Manitou Springs was evacuated as well.  They are in more danger than Colorado Springs at this point.

Colorado Springs

There is a fire in South West Colorado Called the Webber fire that is now over 7,000 acres between Durango and Mancos, Colorado, not far from Cortez where Jim and I graduated from High School.

From the Denver Post web site.

This map shows where the 8 fires are now.  Please pray over each one, that they all can be contained.  The High Park fire in Fort Collins is still only 45 % contained, and going strong.

Appreciate your prayers over our precious state!
