My Soul Grieves Today

Tom Cunningham July 24, 2018 at 3:13 AM So tragic Demetrios, we pray for those affected and remember the brave firefighters' who against overwhelming odds continue to try and bring those fires under control. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis July 24, 2018 at 5:08 AM Very tragic my friend! The most horrible was this morning when they found 26 people burned to death that were embracing each-other! Yes, firefighters were brave but the government has done nothing to help them when they were asking for equipment. Thank you for caring!
