San Diego On Fire



It's been three days since the fires around and in San Diego started and there's no end in sight. As of posting time, 500,000 people (and growing) have evacuated their homes.

I have relatives and friends in San Diego. My sister, brother and I visited with the very active Paoay (our town) Association there last year. I was there again two months ago job hunting.

The undulating residential hills captivated me. Unfortunately these hills with their dried summer vegetation lend to easy burning as a result of embers from the surrounding burning mountains.

Abetted by high winds and hot weather, fires continue in many other places in Southern California. Let's pray for this region.

I love San Diego. It was beautiful and it will be beautiful again.

Just As I Am

I love this video. Ang galing ng boses ni David Phelps. He used to be part of the Gaither Vocal Band, a popular gospel group. Sing along with him as I've posted the lyrics with this video. Watch more of his videos in You Tube.


Just As I Am
sung by David Phelps

Dear Lord, I'm on my knees again
I come to you because you understand
I've tried so hard but I just can't change myself
That's why I know I need your hand

(Chorus)
So here I am, this is my plea
My only hope is your love for me
I'm reaching out so desperately
Come take my hand, take all of me

Just as I am O Lord
You make what's broken new
Why can't I just learn to follow you
I want to know you to feel you in my soul
I surrender all control

Chorus

Just as I am, I'm not afraid
To follow you where you lead me
I can leave the past behind me
I'm forgiven and I'm free

Chorus

I'm reaching out so desperately
Come take my hand, take all of me
Just as I am

Here I Am

Above All

Draw Me Close
