Take a Moment

Take a couple of minutes today, tomorrow and the next day to send some prayers to Southern California.

Wildfires are the worst nightmare of most people living in the West Coast of the United States. They are so unpredictable, dependent upon fuel, wind, the whim of nature. It sometimes seems, like now that Mother Nature is getting back at us.

While we send prayers out to those families and individuals who have lost everything, or are being threatened with the loss of their entire worldly goods, please do not forget to send a prayer to those who are also putting their lives on the line...the firefighters!

Being raised in Washington State I am very familiar with the amazing jobs these brave individuals do. I have seen areas burned black and a green circle around a home where the wildfire fighters saved the house. I have also seen way too many times when the firefighters have been killed. Whether it was the fault of the firefighters or training issues, when they hit close to home, people you know, it becomes all the more personal.

So please, say a prayer for the people in Southern California, and don't forget the firefighters who are risking their lives.
