Here in Honduras we don't use gas grills, you have to start your own fire with charcoal and sticks, (kinda like the Neanderthal man). The other day I tried to start a fire to cook some hamburgers. I was attempting to pour gasoline on the fire to help get it started when I poured a little too much and the bottle caught fire. Scared that it would explode in my hand I threw the bottle to the ground. That's when Hannah screamed "Eric you're on fire!". I looked down and saw that my pants and shoe were also in flames. Thankfully nobody was injured, it just made it much more difficult to get a good fire started. We eventually did get it going and I even ended up burning some of the hamburgers that day. haha. Oh well, we survived to tell the story.

...you are one of the lucky (divinely protected few) who survives that technique. (we've all tried it)
you're a long way from a good burn unit...
thank the Lord for keeping you safe!
Love you guys....
Thank the Lord for His Divine Protection once again. Maybe I'll send you a nice George Forman Grill for those much desired hamburgers.
I don't remember studying proper fire-starting techniques in Hispanic Ministries; maybe that should be added. I like the addition of your prayer request list to your blog.
