Rus, I am thanking God, right now, for holding you safely in His arms during what must have been a harrowing experience!

Over 50 hunters were stranded in Flagstaff, AZ, all week from a blizzard that dropped three feet of snow Monday, and as of last night, 27 had been rescued. These storms can come in with a blink of an eye.

The Soldier



Rupert Brooke

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[The Mayor]

Thanks, me too. Never want to go through it again. I hear about those hunters, so sad. Storms can come that quickly, that I know for sure now.

My sister and family are in Flagstaff right now as my nephew graduated yesterday from Northern Arizona State University. She said it was tretcherous driving the last bit on black ice!

Pray for their safe return to Los Angeles tomorrow.
