Thoughts, energies, prayers

[Tyg3rW01f]

...whatever it is you do for those requesting or needing...

...Sixteen have been reported dead as of Tuesday night, 19th of November, this the year of Our Lord, 2013.
Our Prayers, thoughts, energies, lit candles, etc. are needed to help bolster those already digging out of the rubble.
If you are able to do so, as I am not (Tennessee is a distance away from IL), then I do hope you will take the time to assist in the local efforts to clear and rebuild.


P.S. Before you tell me it's "C.E. or Current Era", does that mean the 20th century and the 1st millennium are now BCE? It's the past century/millennium.

... and donations, from those who are able, to the charity of your choice.

Two of my cousins lost their houses in Sunday's tornadoes. They have insurance, but there are many who do not, or do not have sufficient insurance to rebuild. A helping hand is always welcome.

[Seraph]

Its quite a horrible disaster, winter storms like this tend to be insane. My prayers are with those affected.

I had to look it up because I've never heard of C.E. before.

What is this C.E. of which you speak? Never heard it used until you mentioned it.

My thoughts are with those who lost their homes and loved ones in the storms.

C.E./B.C.E. are a secular way of saying A.D./B.C. After all, the demarcation point between B.C. and A.D. is a major event in a particular family of religions (Christianity), but is completely irrelevant to other religions (e.g. Hinduism).

Note: C.E. is "Common Era", B.C.E. is "Before Common Era". I've always heard it that way, rather than "Current Era".
