FIRE



On a fairly cyclical basis, we enounter wild fires in California. This last season we experienced the devistating loss of over two thousand homes and other structures. We are aware of over 12 people who have died as a result. This reminds us of the fleeding world of possessions and personal glory. The Bible describes God as a "consuming fire" (Heb.12:29) His fire judges unrightous motives and behavior and purifies righteous motives and behavior. None of us will escape that fire.


This picture was taken in my neighborhood. My house is located in the center.
