General Discussion, Saturday, November 17, 2018
This entry was posted in Uncategorized. Bookmark the permalink.
I received this ground report from Paradise, CA, just a little while ago–from a friend:
Subject: Paradise Lost
After spending two days in Paradise, I cannot even begin to give an adequate description as to the degree of fire destruction. In 37 years in the fire service and law enforcement, I have never even imagined a fire of this magnitude. I am certain the death toll will at least double, and potentially more.
We are talking about the annihilation of a town of 26,000+ souls. I watched Tyvek-clad forensic archaeologists and cadaver dogs excavating for human remains, spoke with numerous weary and emotionally exhausted firefighters, and witnessed the pain of the town’s people who have lost loved ones, friends, pets, homes, and belongings. They did not just lose their homes, they lost their whole town.
I appeal to all for assistance. As we learned during the Carr Fire in Redding, the Camp Fire extends past our parish boundaries and into the community in which we live. I make an appeal to make a sacrifice for those suffering such a tremendous loss. Please consider a donation to Salvation Army and write “Camp Fire Donation” on the memo line. This assures all money goes to the disaster relief of victims of the Camp Fire.
God bless all of you and please pray for all firefighters, law enforcement, emergency medical personnel, and for the citizens of Paradise.
Pax,
Fr. M————-

Morning Mary. There’s so many things I’d like to say, but none of it is right or fitting. I can’t imagine the suffering these people are going through. Praying for them that they might recover and heal from this devastation and rebuild their lives. 🙏🏻

Thank you Mary. How absolutely horrible. Prayers for all. So many souls.
James Woods has been amazing.
I have not heard from my mother in law, she lives in Concord CA, ( I know that Concord is only affected by the smoke right now) normally she always answers his phone, her daughter is actively posting on Facebook so I am assuming my MIL has just not checked her messages. But prayers would still be appreciated.
Stay safe Mary. Again prayers. 🙏🏽❤️

Blessings to all Stellarites! Today one of my twins, Brandon, will be joining a group of associates at the local community theater to put on an acapella production. He will be singing Baritone & has a couple of short solos within the roughly hour and a half performance. It’s possible that his sister, Clarissa, will also join up so she’ll be available for the Spring acapella event (she currently sings on our church’s worship team). Most of the family (who aren’t currently up North for rifle hunting in pursuit of the elusive Michigan white tail) will be attending in support.
With all the darkness, despair, & destruction that seems to be abounding around us remember to keep our eyes fixed on the Lord & come to Him with our burdens. God Bless You All!
God be with you all this weekend & may He supply each one of you All you need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus…

I come from a bunch of savers, growing up my parents had 2 houses, a brick and mortar store (with a full backroom and basement for storage), 3 garages and a rental space all with stuff.
I remember I was quite young when I decided it was just too much. I reasonably can be accused of going too far the other way which I’ve tried to make adjustments for…
My sisters are much like my folks.
“Things” overwhelm me if there are too many of them.
But as I said I take it too far the other way. Nothing wrong with being attached to things and the memories they evoke 🙂 !

lilbirdee12’s prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
