Prayers to God for those effected by the grass fires in your beautiful country.

That is very sweet.

Thinking of all of you down in Victoria. Hoping you, your friends and family are safe and well.

TTown, alas they're a bit more than grass fires and last I heard we had a death toll of 131 from said fires, this is expected to rise quite a bit yet :(

As a man, I have stood in Bunker Gear and fought to save lives and property. As a man I have pulled bodies out of cars and houses that could not be identified as anything more than a piece of meat. As a man, I pray for those in your country who have been effected by these fires.

Thank you for your well wishes to those affected by these horrible bush fires / firestorms.


BTW, do you do anything as a woman? Just curious, as you started every sentence with "as a man"... :)

I was informing mick_dundee, who had a made a negative comment about my praying for the people, aware that I know how serious the situtation is. For years I was the Chief of the FAIC Fire Department. It would be impossible for me to do something as a woman, after all "I don't swing that way". My girlfriend had a good laugh at your comment.
