Hello, Viking:
I’m pinging a few FRiends to you, so that they might ask Prayer Warrior friends to intercede on your behalf, and on behalf of your loved ones.
Friends, Viking has endured an horrific event, and needs our support.
I can’t begin to imagine the terror and loss and the grief you bear tonight. Know that even in darkest hours, you stand not alone, “for Thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me”.
Good will come from this small and passing thing, take that into account.
Yours,
SARGE
Viking2002 and his wife have lost their home and beloved dogs to a fire.

Just unbelievable what lightning has done in your area.
Twenty minutes and your house was gone - ???
Must have been an awful sight.
None of us can walk in your shoes.
I’m expecting the good folks of Alabama will help out in many ways.
Including the emergency agencies . . .
(An aside - - spouse is a real first generation American viking - both parents born in Norway - )!
BTTT
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for you and your wife.
I am so sorry about the loss of your dear pets, and your “stuff”. As a red cross volunteer I am glad you have a good chapter that is helping you.
We had a lightning strike that took out lots and lots of our things... nine computers among them and other parts of my husbands business.. fortunately no fire... and I know how hard it can be to replace all that was lost.
One wise friend answered us when Mr G was grumbling about God letting it happen. He said “God said it’s time for an upgrade”. And he was right. We recovered from the “tragedy” in really good form, without the amount of money we thought it would take, and with so much kindness from people we were astonished.
I will pray that you are equally blessed.

My prayers are with you.
You are in my prayers.
Prayers going up!!
Freepmail me with any special needs you may have and I'll see if there's anything on the list that's up my alley or in my basement.
If you could use a FR work day or weekend, or weekends in the future, let us know.
God bless! I cannot even begin to wrap my brain around this. My prayers offered.
I was burned out of my apartment in 2009, I know exactly what it feels like
my sincere condolences

Oh my. Heartfelt, if a little late in coming, prayers are lifted for you and Connie.
