This is the only post I've ever done without a picture. The pictures would be the girls of Mystic Camp and they are just too heartbreaking. For the last 24 hours my heart and prayers have been in Kerrville, TX, a place that was unknown to me until yesterday.
My thoughts have gone to one of the ritual prayers of the Jewish New Year, Unetanah Tokef. For the last several years the line that has spoken to me is "Who shall perish by water and who by fire." I'm not sure why that thought kept coming back to me, but it did through the years and does tonight. It seemed an archaic thought from the long ago, a thousand years ago, when the prayer was written. Like so many thoughts of long ago, it still has meaning.
Keep safe, friends, and my prayers for those and the loved ones of those who perished by water. May your memories be for blessings, now and always.

My prayers go out to all involved. To be swept away like that has to be terrifying. Flash floods is a problem in Texas!
You have expressed what many of us have been feeling the past few days as the news reports continue.
I have done nothing but pray for these families, Carol. May our Loving Father comfort all of them in their time of deepest grief.
