I dont know if anyone has heard of the fires in Colorado, well i live there and its getting bad. I can walk out my front door and see burned pine needles on my stoop.
79,000. THOUSAND acers burned as of the last update today. going to be OVER 100,000 by nightfall, with 0 zip nada zlech contained. There are currently 8 different fires bruning right now, with the biggest one being the Hayman fire. I live not to far from that fire and its burned 25,700 acers it self. SO EVERYONE PLEASE PRAY FOR RAIN AND FOR OUR FIREFIGHTERS LIVES HERE.

Dont want to bring anyone down but this hurts in ways that some people only know all to well. And others can only feel in their hearts.

Sar... my prayers are with you and Mendiin, the firefighters, and with the beautiful state of Colorado. It is sad to hear of so much going up in flames... :(

Thank you very much Aqua..

Okay Sweetie..........you'll be in our prayers. Be Safe and Be careful. You guys mean alot to us all.

What Aquaman said!

I know it's not the same, but I've had 2 housefires so I'm aware of what fire can do. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

You have my prayers too!!!! And I'll throw some extras in for Alberta and Saskatchewan up here in Canada too.
God bless all the firefighters, everywhere in the world.

side note: in Alberta (Canada) the firefighters were putting out yet another blaze and happened to spot some IDIOT setting more fires!!!! Some guy doing it on purpose!!!! I hope they fry that guy good.


BORU

Very definitely you have our prayers and, as Boru said, we'll also throw some in for all those areas dealing with this! God bless!

Wish you to exit well out of that, keep you in my heart.

Sar, first and foremost, you and Mendiin BE SAFE!

Have faith. And pray that things will turn out for the best. We will do the same for you!

M45 must be a very busy fireman....I pray for him as well...

Be safe!!!

Here's a hymn of prayer, re-worded for firefighters and homeowners:

Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm protects from birth to grave.
Who's mighty forests and their trees,
set humble mankind on its knees.
Oh, send your angels, sight unseen,
To those who keep them safe and green.

O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard
And sent them raining at Thy Word,
Who walked on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh, hear us when we pray for rain,
For those who toil on in vain!

Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its raging fires cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh, hear us when we pray to you,
Protect our homes and loved ones too!

O Trinity of love and power!
Our family shield in danger’s hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect us wheresoever we go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee
Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Sorry sar im not religeous but you are in my thoughts and i will also get my group to send vibes and healing

may the god of rain pour down on you and help the firefighters.

My prayers go out to you all and all of those who are in danger. Rain will come soon because with these many prayers going up some kind of blessing will come down.

THANK YOU EVERYONE i cant tell you how much this means to me that you guys responded. I got some more bad news today on top of the fires not bein contained. There is some JACK ASS out there who is runnin around setting the gosh dang fires for him self!!! i can not tell you how mad i am that someone would do that!!!! I am in tears of frustration and anger that they are risking the lives of so many people and animals and homes. it pisses me off more than i can say on here. ARGH!!!!!!!

I did not know that m45 was here i thought he was elsewhere, but my prayers are with him and his family too, im sure he is fighting night and day to make sure we are safe and i thank god that there are people out there like that.

Again thank you everyone for you replies!

*hugs and tears

My dear Sarriah,
 

I’m sorry I only now found this thread, but I have been aware of your situation as my 82 year old mother lives in Denver and told me Sunday night she had to turn her AC off because of the smoke that was being sucked inside. My son in-law is a firefighter as was a close uncle. Fire is both known and understood here.:eek:
My inner thoughts are with you as I, along with legend and scorpi42 “pray” :confused: (or by whatever name you give it) do send “SPECIAL” emotions to you.

NOW my friends!
 

As has been stated, there seems to be some VERY sick and dangerous members of our species both in Colorado and Canada that have been “seen” starting fires. If this is an UNQUESTIONABLE fact, do we have a responsibility we would prefer to defer?
I am not seeking any response, only giving food for thought (the quality that is suppose to set us apart from other species).
If a rattle snake were laying eggs in the closet of a loved one, should I only brake the eggs or should I seek out the laying snake and end the danger for what has meaning to me in this life?
Please understand that it is not with youthful ignorance or haste that I even consider action against my own kind. Do we not do worst because of a philosophical, duty, or even just the difference in a uniform?
The true magnitude of the destruction and negative effects from these fires are beyond our conscious comprehension.
Dealing with only what I do know, do feel are my responsibilities of stewardship, and the FACTS before me, I know that a 30.06 will reach as far as I can clearly see.

wow i didn't know that is was so bad there, well i hope you get plenty of rainy weather to moisten that place up, i don't pray much but i will for this, hope it poors like a muthafucka there

Trust in God, technology and the massed manpower

of a firefighting fraternity.

You've only the weather to count on otherwise.

Our grounds are saturated with water. Hopefully some can be re-directed to Colorado and any other place in need. Prayers continue.

My prayers go out to you too... I just wish all of the rain we've been having here for the last week could move out to Colorado and everywhere else it's needed...

Thanks for the update!!

and thanks for your kind words again everyone!!

You know Im right there with ya hun. Just put on some John Michael Montgomery and hope that song plays again.

Sariah

You have my prayers fully, Ihope this ends soon and your view is peaceful.

Thinking of you - very best of all things to you.

Andrew

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family I hope all will do well

I live in bushfire country so I know how bad these things are. Last year an idiot throwing a cigarette out of his car window started a huge blaze that came within 100 metres of my house.

It is truly frightening and the way it jumped 400 metres was terrifying. some years ago half of Tasmania was ablaze and over 100 people died along with property and stock destroyed.

There are a growing number of idiots light them on purpose for whatever perverted pleasure they get out of it. They should be strung up by the balls.

So Sar and PF I hope things come under control very quickly. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys.
