Oil Spill - Disaster in the Gulf

Please, I ask of you all from the gulf states and all over our world to pray for our sea life, our bird sanctuaries, and all our beautiful beaches along the gulf's coastline at this time. Also all the men and woman in the water now trying to cap this oil spill that is racing to our shorelines..  Latest news is 7 miles south of Pensacola and the beaches there are just as beautiful as they are here in our Tampa Bay. We here are allready bracing ahead of time  volunteering our time shall it hit our area also,.
  We all anticipate the recovery and stop hold of this leak soon as the outlook looks dismal. All your prayers and thoughts are greatly needed and appreciated. With hurricane season coming up and forecast predictions higher as usual brings more fear. As  this disaster races to our shores and possibly bringing much more devastation we initially anticipated.  I am still keeping as positive an outlook as possible.  Despite the headlines. 19,000 gallons a day pouring out and we still wait.    

Blessings out to all that are working hard behind the scenes to cap this leak once and for all. My prayers are also with them and their families.  

Thank you all very kindly

Mona
