Ted and Kim Budge talk about the traumatic loss of their home in the Los Angeles area fires on January 8, 2025.  They candidly speak about what they had gone through, but more importantly share thoughts that all of us should consider about where life can take us and how to survive whatever comes our way.  They are great examples of courage and faith and have inspired so many of us at this time. They also speak of the outpouring of love and community.

What's the big point in your discomfort and suffering?  If God can stop it, why not free you of the pain that you are going through?  Is there something for us to learn?  If so, what is it?  Learn some things here that will help you and see the greater purpose in God's creating a better you in the context of not only this life but also life eternally.
