The New York Times takes a good look at the Rio Grande River…..it is drying up. I plead with the people of God to pay attention to what is going on around us. We need to be on our knees praying to our Father for rain. I pray for a time of fasting and prayer here in New Mexico.

Let us pray as a state together at noon everyday.

We now our into another season of extreme drought and wildfires in New Mexico, we must seek the face of our Lord Jesus Christ.
