My heart hurts for the ranchers in South Dakota who have lost so many cattle in last weekend's early snowstorm. If you haven't heard about it, here is a blog from folks close to the situation:
The Blizzard That Never Was
Most of the mainstream media seems to have chosen not to cover this catastrophe . . . which is sickening in itself, but I choose not to go down that path today.
When I first announced that I had cancer, there was an out-pouring from friends and family members expressing that their thoughts and prayers would be with me. It felt like nothing I've ever experienced before. I can't describe it exactly, but I *felt* God's presence all around me and in me. I was filled with hope and . . . warmth . . . I guess is the best word I can come up with. And an absolute certainty that I was on the right path.
My reason for writing today is to ask that, as you go about your day over the next weeks, you find a few seconds here and there to pray for the ranchers in South Dakota who have lost so much. Our God appreciates it when we care for each other and He will pass our prayers along in a mode that will be just what those poor people need.
