Grace, peace and ease of recovery

I hope all of you on the East Coast as well as the surrounding areas are safe and recovering well after Hurricane Sandy. Thankfully my family and I were not seriously affected. The power is out for some of my relatives but that is a tiny inconvenience compared to the hundreds who have lost their…
