praise the lord.

my brother was visiting westmont college, you know, to experience collegiate life there.
and the one night he goes there, there is a fire.
the dorm he was staying in burned down. but great news. he is alive and not dead!
although he did lose his iPod, some books, clothes, a Bible, and songbooks- important things, but replacable. he had his journal, which is priceless. so we are all good in the neighborhood, for the most part.

except that 14 homes and 8 buildings i believe in westmont were completely burned. so that is not okay. but praise the lord, literally, that he is alive.

i'll be praying for the people that actually lost everything.
