Yes, I prayed to God and asked him why he is a watcher of evil, rather than a preventor of it? God said that he needs constant attention and that when imperfect humans help each other to overcome all hardships, in turn, religious humans will always give God the credit for what humans actually did for each other. Its a win / win for God. Where else can this kind of credit be given in the real world to someone that had no part in it at all?

@m.weston7114 God gives man free will. And with that comes consequences of it. If he interfered, we would not live with free will as we would have direct knowledge of Him. It would be no different than having your parents watching over your every move and you knowing it. You would never grab that cookie and that is not free will. It's amazing how you atheists just can't stand anyone believing in anything. That you can't let others believe reveals so much about your insecurity. If there is nothing out there and we simply wink out of existence why care about what anyone else does or what happens to anyone? It's all meaningless nothing. You just can't stand it, can you? I'll bet you think you are the most tolerant person, but you only tolerate those like you. I'll be clear, intolerance is a Christian value and it's time to stop being tolerant of people like you.

So great to see the support this family is getting. It's still hard to cope with a disaster like this but it helps to know you're not alone. Special note here; having been through this exact situation myself in January of '22 certain things that appear "ok" or still usable should not be trusted. When steel gets that hot it loses it's temper. Becomes soft and unable to withstand the load put on it by serious use. For example a wrench can round out on a stuck bolt and slip and there you go smashing fingers. Or especially those hitches. They should be used in extreme caution or just tossed to be safe. They most likely are soft from the heat/cool down cycle (lost temper) and can bend or even tear out around the pin holes quite easily. Resulting in trailer coming loose on the road. Some things just aren't worth the risk. Log chains too can stretch and break under much less force than they should. Broken chains are extremely dangerous. Not trying to be a jerk here just speaking from recent experience. Take care guys. Continued prayers.

What a tragic loss. That is so hard to even look at knowing the substantial loss came about from only trying to protect equipment from storm damage. Very devastating. Farm rescue is a life saver of a project for farmers in dire need from what I have seen over the years. My question is, is there a similar project that is available for helping farmers in dire situations with getting crops in the ground. Such as in this case, every piece of equipment was lost and now the farmer has no means of even planting crops? If not, I think there should be a similar one created for just that.

Laura, you have done quite a service to your farming community. I know that fire can be so FINAL. I have had two former 4H Club members who had taken over the Family Dairy Operations. When you lose a dairy herd which had been built up for 60 plus years and have cows which were rolling out over 200 lbs of milk per day, it really is heartbreaking. All I can say is that the Agricultural communities and rural friends all helped get these farmers back on their feet, but they have to start from SCRATCH as their families herd GENETICS have been absolutely wiped out. Both of these former 4H club members are back at it with fantastic new facilities as compared to what their parents had given them from what they had saved over a lifetime. Tears in my eyes typing this up as I can tell you too have shed some recently.
