Waycorss GA Wildfires

Many of you have probably heard on the news about
the Massive Wildfires in Waycross and surrounding.
The fire is about 10-15 minutes south of Papa and Nana's house.
From their house you can see and smell the smoke.
You can also see ashes falling.
The fire is now only 30% contained!




The fire has now destroyed over 30,000 acres and is now
in the Okefenokee Swamp Park. The Okefenokee is one of the nations
best perserved wetland areas. They have moved all of the animals
out of the actual park in Waycross. Many houses have
been destroyed by fire, smoke or water.
Thounsands of people have been evacuated from their homes.
Many are staying to keep their house sprayed down
with water, hoping that will save their homes!
Please keep everyone in your prayers!

Deut 6:5-9

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
"And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
