Tragedy in Arizona

Many of us woke to the news yesterday of the death of 19 heros.   19 firefighters gave their lives protecting a town from a wildfire.   Almost the entire hotshot (specialist firefighteres) team from Prescott, Arizona perished when they were overtaken by the flames.   Only one member of the crew survived.   He was on a lookout a mile a way so managed not to get caught.

Our prayers are with the families of those lost and with all of those affected by the fire.

I thought about doing a special addition to the Quilt Block challenge for donations to families.  I had to restrain myself though.   As I posted previously, there are a lot of worthy organizations.   If I lose focus, a lot of organizations will get a lot of $10 donations.   But the idea is to make an impact.   So a lot of $10 donations to a few organizations is more of an impact than a few $10 donations to a lot of organizations.

It was a hard decision to make.   But focus and discipline is important when trying to change the world.   Come change it with me.   Make a donation today.
