On the morning of August 21, 2015 the sun rose as usual and at the appropriate hour. Looking east from Ennis toward the Madison Range I could do nothing but stare and wonder at the majesty of the new day, and whatever it would lay gently in our laps. It beckoned that I should share its arrival and message.
"Upon its rise into the new day it did it did not being the fire smoke, it merely brought it to our attention.
What a reality to see and not be able to deny the reality and severity of the circumstances. It is now that we must awaken our awareness of those in Harm's way in the fire stricken communities and surrounding areas. The storms are fierce but the power and result of our prayers can alter and often eleviate the heat, no matter the circumstance."
We must pray well and with sincerity and we must pray often. Our brothers and sisters are asking for our participation.

The image above is the color of the sun when blocked by smoke. This morning dawned with a thirty-five degree temperature due to a cold front that moved in yesterday. We still cannot see the mountains for the smoke but it is a little clearer today due to the lack of wind. It is a brief reprieve.
A hard for me to believe that it was a fire. In Madrid does not happen, of course. But people knew the insanity of the environment.

Tomas, fires often happen in this part of the country during the dry months. It has been a long time since it was this bad. I am grateful it does not happen in your part of the world.
