  • Fire at Local Charity, Plus a Car Wreck - What a Weekend!

    So, my mother is on the board of a local charity, the United Veterans Beacon House, which is provides transitional communal housing for homeless veterans. Not always the smoothest thing (she's their treasurer), but really worthwhile to help these great guys get back on their feet.

    Earlier today, the garage out back, where the charity's van and a lot of other property were stored, caught fire. Nobody was hurt, but it's a pretty considerable financial loss. And the house leader, a family friend of ours, lost his brand-new car in the blaze. It's just all very shocking.

    So if y'all could pray for this, I'd appreciate it.

    Oh, also, a 19-year-old from my old home church got into a really nasty car wreck early yesterday morning. Lots of broken bones and significant lacerations. The local trauma unit patched him up pretty good, put him in an induced coma to give him some rest, and they're slowly bringing him back to consciousness. Looks like he'll recover well, though there may be some nerve damage in his left arm. Please pray for him also.
