With a burn ban in place and no rain for 6 weeks or more, our area is as dry as anywhere else in the county. With grass fires popping up daily - the need for our community to be smart and diligent is at its highest. Over the past 2 weeks volunteer fire departments across the county have responded to fire after fire and almost every one of them have been careless burning by individuals. Your trash and brush piles can wait, especially when we are facing extreme risks.

Almighty God, we need rain. We realize now, looking into the clear, blue sky above, what a marvel even the least drop of rain really is. To think that so much water can fall out of the sky, which now is empty and clear! We place our trust in You. We are sure that You know our needs, but You want us to ask You anyway, to show You that we know we are dependent on You. Look on our dry hills and fields, dear God, and bless them with the living blessing of soft rain. Then the land will rejoice, and the rivers will sing Your praises and the hearts of men will be glad. Amen.

The rain was so nice this week and we can use more. I hope that people were cautious if they decide to celebrate July 4th with fireworks. I read that if a fire starts while popping fireworks a fine up to $500 can be issued since Grimes County is still in a burn ban.
