Heavenly Father,
Prince of Peace and God of mercy,
look with compassion on all innocents caught in the conflict with Iran.
Make this war brief.
Protect every child from harm;
let no blameless life be lost.
Shield our servicemen, guide their actions in justice, grant them discernment,
and bring them home safely.
Soften the hearts of all leaders;
turn them toward wisdom, dialogue, and peace.
Mary, Queen of Peace, pray for us.
Saint Michael, defend us in battle.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
May You grant swift resolution with minimal suffering
and restore Your peace to every heart and land.
Amen.

As someone nearby the Hunt and Kerrville area (20 miles away or so); let me give some info that might be helpful as we all process our grief and ask all the (understandable) questions.
1) This area of Texas is known as the 'flash flood capital' storms 1/10 the size of the one that impacted us over the 4th of July weekend trigger these alerts. As there are MANY hills and gullies and we have a limestone base soil...so water tends to flow to tributaries and rivers much more efficiently. For better or worse.
2) The area that Camp Mystic is at hosts tens of other camps. It is well known for historic camps; that ALL (I guarantee it) have standard flood procedures...including going to higher ground. Which is reasonable and I would assume was followed.
3) This area is also well known to have spotty cell phone service at best; so even alerts going out at 1:30AM -3AM could have not gotten received. We also must keep in mind that; by the time these more serious alerts got to those impacted; waters were likely already surging (specifically in the area where Camp Mystic meets up at the 2 forks that feed the headwaters of the Guadalupe).
4) Nobody could have been prepared for the rate and speed which the river increased in depth. Going from 3' to 29+' in a matter of 45 minutes is an INSANE level of flooding.
I do have more to say. But wanted to potentially give some clarity - from a local - as to all the factors that may have caused this 'perfect storm' of tragedy.

President Trump just hosted a high-stakes cabinet meeting at the White House.
One by one, top Cabinet members delivered Major Announcements — directly reporting to the American people.
Here’s everything you should know (and no joke, it gets crazier the further you read): 🧵
Division is a tool used masterfully by the deep state.
I believe that is being done in MAGA and MAHA.
We must take victories and prevent division. This means we will not get all that we want in every direction, but instead have to compromise. That’s politics.
Nothing is about justice, it’s all about curbing the US to whatever his whims are.
Anything that can be done to tie the hands of Trump.
In a 5:01 a.m. statement, Biden wrote, “I’ve dedicated my career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system.
“Today, I am commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 individuals on federal death row to life sentences without the possibility of parole. These commutations are consistent with the moratorium my Administration has imposed on federal executions, in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder.
“Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss.
“But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”
Things @elonmusk removed from the bill…..
NOTHING, cause he’s a citizen on X just making his opinion known.
@MikeJohnson and the republicans heard their constituents, AKA the American public, and they changed the bill. This is how a digital republic can work.
And California continues to prove its just a money laundering operation for the powerful and connected.

So because democrats don’t get a bunch of their pork through this new bill, they want to shut down the government?
Ok. Let them.
Democrats chose this because they don’t have to help people In North Carolina, farmers and the country.
Shut it down then.

BREAKING.🚨
A joint statement from @realdonaldtrump and @JDVance:
"The most foolish and inept thing ever done by Congressional Republicans was allowing our country to hit the debt ceiling in 2025. It was a mistake and is now something that must be addressed.
Meanwhile, Congress is considering a spending bill that would give sweetheart provisions for government censors and for Liz Cheney. The bill would make it easier to hide the records of the corrupt January 6 committee—which accomplished nothing for the American people and hid security failures that happened that day. This bill would also give Congress a pay increase while many Americans are struggling this Christmas.
Increasing the debt ceiling is not great but we’d rather do it on Biden’s watch. If Democrats won’t cooperate on the debt ceiling now, what makes anyone think they would do it in June during our administration? Let’s have this debate now. And we should pass a streamlined spending bill that doesn’t give Chuck Schumer and the Democrats everything they want.
Republicans want to support our farmers, pay for disaster relief, and set our country up for success in 2025. The only way to do that is with a temporary funding bill WITHOUT DEMOCRAT GIVEAWAYS combined with an increase in the debt ceiling. Anything else is a betrayal of our country.
Republicans must GET SMART and TOUGH. If Democrats threaten to shut down the government unless we give them everything they want, then CALL THEIR BLUFF. It is Schumer and Biden who are holding up aid to our farmers and disaster relief.
THIS CHAOS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IF WE HAD A REAL PRESIDENT. WE WILL IN 32 DAYS!"
Wow.
The fact that Disney was ready to make this a part is confirmation enough of the alarming culture…
That they pulled it out, shows that they are aware of the errors and they are paying attention.
This is a step, not a huge win, but a step towards cultural victory.
Pixar’s original animated series #WinOrLose will no longer include a transgender storyline in a later episode, THR has learned.
A spokesperson for Disney confirmed that the story arc was removed and provided the following statement: “When it comes to animated content for a younger audience, we recognize that many parents would prefer to discuss certain subjects with their children on their own terms and timeline"

Did Biden really pardon Chinese Citizens in a mass commutation?
If he didnt, does that mean the commutations are actually better than we thought? Lets go over the details about Biden's pardons once more...
This video may confirm what many have wondered and speculated the last year, but none of us revel in his incapacity assuming this person was not overly exaggerating the condition.
It’s tragic that Kamala and the powers that be have used him up so thoroughly.
With an increased risk on Christian Private Schools being targets, it is time that those schools step up the expect security. We cannot wait for society to defend us, and the threat of consequences is obviously no longer enough.

The Sexual Revolution was a disaster:
60 years ago, they tried to redefine sexuality to "liberate," mankind
Everything they said was a lie, yet their lies have ruined millions of lives
Here is the worst lie of the Sexual Revolution that is still plaguing society today…🧵
Someone tell me that story about the boy and the wolf again, cause these folks are no longer trustworthy, therefore, in a moment where we’d like to disprove the wild claims, they can’t speak to it and have us believe. Because they are known liars and have gaslit the people.
The defense for people being in tents in the North Carolinian Winter is NOT “they are canvas with heating.” It is that something will be done to GET THEM OUT OF THE TENT.
Whole families are living in tent quarters. Thats the best FEMA can do while Joe Biden gives money abroad.
Why isn't the biggest story in America right now about how FEMA is holding press conferences in #WNC explaining the differences between people living in "lightweight" tents versus "canvas" tents?
...it's a TENT, why aren't you helping them get OUT of the tent?
Unreal.
What a selfless man of the people, sacrificing so much for the cause… /s
