Hello Everyone! I hope you relished the rain as much as I did. It’s lovely to see our air quality rated as “good” again. The fires are not gone however, and much of the west coast remains afflicted. Continue praying and otherwise supporting firefighters and all affected persons. That being said, the improved air quality […]
