I am looking out the window at the mountains and know that the Pacific Ocean and Malibu lies just beyoung my sight. Huge billows of smoke are in the air and I can see the ash on my patio. Right now I am giving prayers for the wonderful fire fighters, both men and women, who are bravely fighting this fire. Also I am thankful for the caretakers who are taking the horses and other large animals to protective places, and for all of those fleeing with their pets. Please God, help us help each other and be thankful and show our appreciation for all of our caretakers.
