I just want to take the time to notice and send prayers out to all the people who's homes, property and lives have been affected by the rain storms that have circled Southern California over the past 5 days. 

As I watch the news, I see different people who have been evacuated from their homes as the threat of flash floods and mudslides persist.  I also see people whose homes and vehicles have been ruined by property changing (and in some cases irreversible) water damage. 

There is never a good time for any of these things to happen - but especially more so during the holidays. 

We definitely needed the rain in SoCal (although not all at the same time)...but never-the-less, to all those who have been affected, my prayers go out to you and your family.  I wish that your lives will return to "normalcy" soon and that 2011 will bring all the prosperity life can offer.
