"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

My brother said that just 6 weeks ago some friends tried to convince him and his wife to retire in Paradise. He thought at the time that it looked like a big tinderbox. Fortunately, the friends were able to evacuate, but ended up spending the night in their car because all the motels in nearby safe areas were full.

This is terrible. Is there an estimate of how many homes were lost so far?
I am betting PG&E is going to need to raise their rates again given one of these recent fires may have been caused by their power lines and/or equipment... someone has to pay!

California Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a measure allowing utilities to bill their customers to pay for future legal settlements stemming from devastating 2017 wildfires.
Brown announced Friday he'd signed the bill, which is aimed at preventing bankruptcy for Pacific Gas & Electric Co.
