Man what is up with CA all these fires? This is ridiculous. I guess getting to live out humidity does sometimes have it''s drawbacks.

Everybody go buy a 6-pack of beer and put out that fire !!!

Note the contrasting attitudes:

"My parents taught me not to allow my possessions to posses me," Lawrence told KABC-TV. "So, that''s the story. The house is a house."

"It''s devastating," Pastor Greg Hughes told Whitaker. "This is a building that is filled with memories, over 50 years of memories."

It doesn''t matter what your station in life is. What matters is weather or not you are attached to the changing world of relative possessions, or to the Unchanging, Unmanifest, Spirit. Pastor Greg Hughes appears to be attached to his relative possessions.

Your external circumstances, whether you are rich or poor, whatever your job is, whatever possessions you have, these things do not determine your state of enlightenment.

No, Sounded to me like a person that has her priorities straight.
