I went looking for images to go with what I was saying You know, I spend a LOT of time looking for images to post I work in an image-laden industry, and have the entirety of my adult life (minus about a year or so when I was off work between employment, or mat leave). You know what they say: "A picture is worth a thousand words." I am a two finger typist, so pictures are a lot faster LOL

Our sermon was supposed to be from Psalm 139, but the man filling in didn't touch it and went to Exodus 2 & 3. It was a bit wishy-washy to me. I'm looking forward to our pastor coming back and really preaching the Word!
I woke up in the night to the smell of creosote in our bathroom. I thought perhaps my husband had been using some chemicals and the smell was left in the bathroom. I went into the living room this morning, and not only could you NOT see the other side of the lake, I could not see our side of the lake, nor the vineyards just below me. The smoke started coming in last night from the south, and now it is just a heavy blanket. It is eerie, just a thick haze with a small red disc in the sky. And car head lights coming at you through the smoke. Oh, and the Air Quality Index was 13/10! With warnings about extreme health hazards for everyone, not just us asthmatics, the elderly and babies!
So the creosote was the smell of burnt wood, probably a lot of pine. I played flute and sang with our worship band. We turned off all the air conditioning and closed the sanctuary and managed to get through the singing. I didn't have a lot of breath support for flute and my mouth was so dry I had to take sips of water during some of the songs. But God was there, and that is the most important thing of all.
So please pray for rain, no lightening in Washington State, BC. and Alberta. There are so many forest fires, and road closures where the fires have jumped the road, making them impassible. And especially for the fire fighters. Several have died in Washington already!

It is so sad when others die trying to protect the rest of us...
Heartfelt prayers to those who have lot their lives in the service of humanity.
Dearest Father God in heaven, we lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ, humbly beseeching You to protect them as they seek to serve the rest of us, going into dangerous situations while others are forced to retreat and flee the dangers imposed by natural conditions that threaten our very lives. Please protect also all who would be adversely affected by the conditions generated by these natural disasters. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

Lord Jesus I ask for your protection to surround each and everyone of my brothers and sisters in Christ and not allow the enemy to destroy everything you promised us. For your promises are true and because you love us. The enemy seeks, kills and destroys but because we are following you, you give us life. I bind the works of the enemy and send it to the pit of hell where it belongs and I pray for your promises to be fulfilled to every single follower of you as it says in your instruction book of life.
In your holy name, AMEN
In your holy name, AMEN
