Well, we are so far from the fire I do not think that evacuating will be necessary. It's just the smoke and ash that is a little bothersome.
I just went outside to take a picture and show you but you really can't tell much by taking photo's.

Yes, meaning you love the Lord more than yourself...
Perhaps because of the context of the verse.
The context indicates that we should use the definition "under the ban" for this word rather than sacrifice. You simply can't ignore the context...
Hmmmm.... most wood fires have a very white looking smoke if ya think about it. Furthermore, this smoke is miles away and the sun is hitting the smoke pretty hard.Originally posted by Zakath
Impressive clouds, I've been close to several forest fires and seem to recall woodsmoke was darker ...
The big difference between the smoke plume and a cloud is that the smoke plume changes dramatically in a matter of minutes while a regular cloud can look very stationary for a long time.

Zakath, you have to remember that we haven't had much moisture here in CO.(about 2% of normal, several cities are considering water rations) Without all the green stuff, there isn't as much to produce smoke.
Actually Becky Zakath is right about me. I have this strange personality disorder in which I am compelled to take photographic images of thunderstorm clouds and show them to people and attempt to fool them into thinking they are smoke plumes from forest fires. I have been exposed, what can I say? How can I ever redeem myself?

In my professional opinion, your recent actions sound more like mild paranoia, than what you described.
I merely made a comment and asked a question about a photograph. I never actually stated that the original photo you posted wasn't smoke. You've apparently never run across the term "cloud of smoke"?
"The men of Israel had arranged with the ambush that they should send up a great cloud of smoke from the city..."Judges 20:38
"Then the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over all the glory will be a canopy." Is. 4:5
Why are you acting so sensitive, Knight?

You can be like the government and deny it ever happened

No. A forest service woman burned a love letter.
Apperantly human sin takes precedence over divine interaction. Just think, if she had been a true Christian and not divorced her husband none of this would have happened. Too bad God isn't powerful enough to step in though and prevent massive property damage and the deaths of the four firemen.

What responsibility, zakath? This is entirely man's doing, and it is entirely man's responsibility.
So if your children started a fire that was going to burn down the house and kill more of your children would you say, "It's entirely the children's responsibility. I don't need to step in." Or would you intervene and show you have more compassion than your god?

If those kids were grown and gone, yes.

Think of it this way, with a fire over 100,000 acres and only four people dead, how is it God didn't intervene?
No single person was in direct danger of dying and yet four people died. Nice cop out for your god though. BTW, I'm really glad you're not my father. Please tell me you don't have children.
