God’s goodness is near us. It is not a goodness far away, but God follows us with His goodness in whatever situation we are. He attaches Himself to us, He has made Himself close, that He might be near us in goodness. He is a father, and everywhere to maintain us. He is a husband, and everywhere to help. He is a friend, and everywhere to comfort and counsel. His love is a near love. He has taken upon Himself the closest kinds of relationships, so that we may never lack God and the evidences of His love.

In short, we have over 30,000 acres currently burning out of control
here in SoCal. Tonight's 11:00 news reported two elderly men burned to
death in their houses and over 250 homes lost, 225 of those just in the
last few hours. These fires appear to be intentionally started by an
arsonist.
The SoCal CB contingent and their families and property look to be safe,
however, one of the fires may be very close to Kyle Gross' home in the
northern SAn Fernando Valley area. The Reche Canyon fire, which was
contained Thursday, missed me by about a mile, but four families lost
their homes there.
We have also have experienced record high temperatures (at or above 100
degrees farenheight) all this week and the hot/dry/strong Santa Ana
winds are starting to kick up.
Please, if you would, lift these in prayer. Not only for the safety of
those on our list, but also for those that have suffered such deep, deep
losses, as well as for the safety of those fighting these fires.
A sudden rainstorm would be a *VERY* welcomed gift from God !
In Him,
Tim
