Hey guys. Just a little prayer/thoughts request. My cousin Frank, AKA the only cousin I talk to on a more than weekly basis, is being deployed to fight wildfires in Nevada. He leaves tomorrow morning. He is excited, but I am a bit nervous. He says that is my mothering kicking in.  The deployment is a min of 14 days. I guess it is so bad they are one step away from calling in the Canadians and all of our (meaning American) units are on deploy. Anyway just some prayers for his and the other firefighters' safety would be wonderful. Thanks gang! |

Oh, I do hope they're okay . . . but don't worry, I'm sure nothing bad will happen. He'll be back safe and sound before you know it! |

I went to see him at the airport tonight. They are staying at a hotel literally 200 feet or so away from check in. We had a late dinner and I sat with my feet in the pool while we chatted. I prayed over him and feel better, but I would still feel better if he can call me while he's out there. Nerve wracking business.

Of course you're worried! Natural reaction.  Just try not to obsesss. You know what they say: think positive, and it will be positive. Chin up! |

Yeah I'm sure Frank will be fine. He'll be back before you know it. I mean, the only bad thing is Frank will meet some hot Nevada chick and bring her back to Ohio to meet the family. LOL...

Is this the cousin you're trying to set up with Mayleene? And I'm sure he'll be fine dear, I'll keep him in my thoughts.

Yes, sort of, Elo. lol He called today to say he was on his way from Nevada to Oregon on a very full, very hot school bus. Apparently the Nevada fire went out on him so his crew is being sent to Oregon. In other news, the whole state of Ohio has been declared to have a drought and the southern portions are severe, so if anyone drops a cigarette he may be on his way home to fight fires here.

lol It wouldn't be my fault if he moved to Nevada, just California. Frank called me while I was at camp and he was home! Thank you, Lord. I haven't gotten to talk to him much, but I do know he is home safe, so that is enough! |
