We have prayed all year for rain. We've been frantically fighting fires all over the region. We've been discouraged, doubtful, and desperate. But in the end, the Lord hears our prayers, and today, we pray again to say "Thank you God for the rain!"

"But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me." -Psalm 66:19-20

A friendly reminder:

Violating a burn ban in Texas is generally a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $500. However, if the fire causes property damage or injury, charges can be upgraded to more serious offenses, including Class A or B misdemeanors, resulting in up to $4,000 in fines and/or one year in jail.
