What would you grab?

This is a similar image that I saw while driving home last night. You could see flames from 20 miles away! A natural gas line in San Bruno, CA exploded last night leaving so much damage that it makes your stomach turn just thinking about it. I couldn't do my homework last night because I kept thinking about those poor San Bruno residents that don't have a home anymore. I am so glad to here that all of our Ward members are safe. I hope none of their homes were damaged, but with flames reaching 1,000ft in the air and 120 homes already counted as "damaged" it would be a miracle if none of their homes were in need of some kind of repair!

I couldn't sleep last night, I just kept wondering what I might grab in the seconds before I had to flee my home? I started thinking about really dumb things like my favorite pair of shoes or little keepsakes that my mom has given me over the years. Then I thought about important papers and legal documents that thankfully I have in the same place so it wouldn't be hard to grab. Even though I was up most of the night thinking about this I still don't know what would be the best thing to grab in the seconds that I might have. Hopefully I would save myself first and hopefully I will never have to find out in real life what I would grab! What would you grab? Think about it, it's not easy to answer is it?

I am grateful for my testimony of a loving Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. That's what I thought of the most last night. I pray for the many people affected by this terrible accident!
