Revelation 3:20 “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in.” Warner Sallman painted a lovely picture of Jesus knocking at a door.

Kiowa County Sheriff Casey Sheridan announced Monday that the county-wide fire ban has been lifted.
Recent rains in the area, including a storm Friday that knocked out power to parts of the county for nearly 26 hours, have improved conditions. Precipitation amounts in many locations ranged from one-half to one and one-half inches over the weekend.
The ban may be re-introduced later in the year if vegetation dries and fire risk increases.
