Echoes of Grace

by JHSEsq on October 24, 2007

The tragedy that the peo­ple in Cal­i­for­nia are fac­ing is almost incom­press­ible. It is even tougher on those of us who have loved ones liv­ing in the San Diego area. There is a woman who authors a very pop­u­lar blog who calls her­self Amaz­ing Gra­cie. She is well liked and respected in the blo­gos­phere. Her blog is named Echoes of Grace. She can be funny, top­i­cal and very seri­ous. She is dealy seri­ous with her post of the fire titled Cal­i­for­nia is Burn­ing. She writes, “I have been in all of these areas that are now burn­ing except for the San Diego area of Poway. The Arrow­head fire is approx­i­mately 30 miles from my cousin’s home — I don’t know about how the crow flies. Since this is all moun­tains, the ash can be car­ried through the pines and oaks and set the whole moun­tain on fire. My brother’s home is approx­i­mately 15–20 miles from the Foun­tain Val­ley fire and about 30 miles from the Irvine fire but he is not in any dan­ger. Their cars are cov­ered with soot and ash. Another cousin lives in Santa Clarita but I’m not cer­tain if he’s in the path of the fire. I’ve left an e-mail. I just pray they’re safe.” We at The Ris­ing Blog­ger will have a good thought for those who are suf­fer­ing and the brave men and women try­ing to stop the fire and return Cal­i­for­nia to san­ity. We hate the rea­son you had to write this post, but it is pow­er­fully writ­ten and is our Post of the Day.

Gra­cie always has a kind word for her fel­low blog­gers. She is kind, com­pas­sion­ate, and a true gem.

This is very well deserved.

Thanks to all of you for chos­ing this par­tic­u­lar post. Things have set­tled down some­what in the midst of the storm, but many souls are still dis­placed.
Thanks, also for giv­ing all of us an occa­sional shot in the blog­ging arm.
~~~Bless­ings~~~
p.s. Thanks, Song­bird, for your kind words…

I am the cousin who is 30 miles from Arrow­head. I appre­ci­ate the con­cern, but thank­fully my area has been spared. I do have a friend who lives in Run­ning Springs. They have been evac­u­ated for a week and still are not allowed up. They don’t know if they have a house to go back to. I can’t imag­ine how that must feel.

Con­grats for choos­ing gra­cie for this honor…she is SO deserving.
