After a weekend that put most area firefighters into overtime, many resident of Waco are starting to openly pray for rain. Frankly, I think praying for rain is a good idea and while we are at it maybe we should pray that the winds calm down a bit too? I feel terrible that a firefighter in North Central Texas was killed late last week and I was devastated when I heard the news tonight that instead of being killed by the fire - he was instead run over by a large vehicle as he fled the flames.
I grew up in the Texas Panhandle as the son of a cotton farmer. I know all too well about praying for rain, because we use to do that all the time before Dad sold the farm and left the area. Grass and wildfires are so bad right now in Texas, that it might take divine intervention to help get things back to normal.
