That is crazy! When I lived on Almanzor there was always the risk of fire so I had my entire flock of animals trained to follow me down the river bank and off the mountain, if necessary! Staying on the property at all could have risked us all dying if the wind carried the fire down our valley. Why do they want people to stay in their houses? The villagers would go to their fincas and irrigate as much as they could at such times. That alone can save a property! This news flabbergasts me!

Frances, we're not gonna be lockdown when there's a fire, we'll be when there's simply risk of fire, depending on humidity, air temperature and so on.

Great memes collection. My favorite one is the first one. Never give up.

My favorite bible verse that relates to this is

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Ephesians 2:10

English Standard Version

__________

I understand that to mean that God will show us exactly what actions to take He has prepared for each of us individually to honor and obey Christ the King to Whom all power, all authority, on heaven and on earth has been given.
