Prayers needed

If you are at all inclined to pray, please offer one up for the workers, families, firefighters and all involved in this morning's explosion at a nearby plant. Our own building - several miles east and up out of the valley - actually jumped at the time of the explosion.

Heavenly Father, we lift up to You the families of those who have lost their lives today. Comfort them as only You can, and provide for them friends and family to help them through today and the days to come. Reach down to clear the communication channels, to allow all family members to get timely, accurate information on the status and location of their loved ones. Protect the firefighters and other emergency personnel as they work to put out the fires and search for missing workers. In Jesus' name, amen.
