Prayers to my family in East Tennesee

     After thanksgiving in Baltimore with my family we headed to Asheville for the weekend with the in laws. The smoke from wildfires lay thick over West Asheville this weekend and we were only a couple of miles from one of the fires. Prayers were said at dinner for some rain and we thought that relief was well on its way. The wife and I scrapped our plans to stay last night in Gatlinburg and enjoy Cades Cove one of our favorite places.

Waking up this morning and checking the news I was shocked to see how bad it got last night. Our family there is ok for now. I hope they get the rain they need.
