Fires are burning across Colorado, and the hot, dry conditions are making this fire season especially dangerous. On the Western Slope, three brave firefighters have been lost while battling fires near the Colorado-Utah border, and my heart breaks for their families, fellow firefighters, and communities.
Closer to home, Beulah, Colorado, my favorite place in Colorado, 1s under mandatory evacuation as fire threatens this sweet mountain hamlet. Ash is falling in my hometown, and so many people are waiting, worrying, and praying.
Please keep Beulah and all affected Colorado communities in your thoughts and prayers. Pray for the safety of the people, livestock, wildlife, homes, and the firefighters working in dangerous conditions to protect them all. May everyone stay safe, and may these fires be brought under control soon.
