A co-worker of mine shared an awesome testimony early this week (January 2006). Her daughter lives in Tulsa, OK and I asked her how she is doing with the recent prairie fires that has burned many acres around TX and OK. She then told me that "CNN" (other media too) has blown this coverage out of proportion-they've been exagerrating the seriousness. The stories that they don't share don't get attention-A bunch of Christians decided to consider a time to just pray that God will have his hand on this natural disaster. They prayed that the wind will stop blowing the fires. After they prayed, the wind stopped and this prevented the fires from spreading-cool, huh? It gets better! The day after, I was watching news coverage on these fires and saw them reporting snow that fell on this region-awesome answer to prayer!

"Wildfires have burned in 24 Oklahoma counties since Tuesday, and have claimed 250,000 acres of prairie and 200 homes since November, Oklahoma's emergency management agency reported.
Residents face "extreme fire weather conditions" again Monday, with the potential for fires to spread rapidly.
Central Oklahoma has had only a quarter-inch of rain since the end of October. High temperatures in recent days have ranged around 80 degrees, and strong, gusty winds have hampered firefighters' efforts, state Fire Marshal Robert Doke said."
"OKLAHOMA SNOW (KFDX)
"
Tuesday, January 10, 2006 Relief for Oklahomans came in the form of snow overnight. Oklahoma City received from 1 to 3 inches, and the farther north, the more snow. More than 10 inches has been reported along the Oklahoma-Kansas line. Although the snow is helpful, state officials say fire dangers remain critical."
My co-worker then shared another encouraging story about the devestating "Oklahoma Bombing" back in 1995 (I first heard of this when I came home from track&field practice during high school). She told me that they picked a time where the whole state of Oklahoma will stop what they are doing (driving, working, eating, etc..) and have a "moment of silence" for the bombing. My co-worker shared that the state froze for about a minute. It was quiet and calm during this time, which I added that you could probably hear God too!
