Great question, Bud. I've asked this question and others similar to it countless times. Job in the Bible asked these types of questions to God when God allowed disaster upon disaster to come against Job's family. Prayers often seem futile. Very often; more often than not I would say. And yet we are challenged to bring our requests before Him. I'm not saying that I understand God and His ways. If I could really comprehend that then He could be contained in my or others' understanding of Him and frankly that would be a god not worth believing in in my opinion. I couldn't really look to Him to fix my brokenness or to be my source of hope, if I could really understand everything about Him.

It's really a great question.

Update on the fire is that it's mostly contained. About 500 home total loss. Two deaths. About 25 square miles of burn area.

Why? Can't answer that.
