I continue to praise the Lord this evening. I praise Him for His protection and provision. I praise Him for His grace and mercy, His love for me, His presence in difficult times and I praise Him for Chico and Bridgeport fire departments! As I said this morning, I closed on my little crack house on Walnut Street at 10 then proceeded to start moving stuff in. The electricity was off so I called a provider to turn it on. But evidently, I had put a box of food on the stove and after I left, the power came on and the stove was on. Pretty much everything inside is ruined and will need to be replaced or repaired. The walls, floors, roof, ceiling, windows, everything had either fire, water, heat or smoke damage. But praise God nobody was hurt. I still have a place I can stay. What was lost was just stuff and most can easily be replaced (with insurance, which I should have. I’ll call them tomorrow.) But all is well. God is in control and He loves us. Thank you to all who have asked to help but I don’t need anything right now. I’ll let you know when I do. And I praise the Lord for my loving church family! — Todd
