Friday's GeM of the Day with Ms Precious Haynes

TODAY'S THOUGHT: “No matter how much a person says I love you, if that love isn't backed up by a consistent demonstration of appreciation, their claim of love won't mean a thing.. If someone doesn't fight to keep you, never fight with yourself to stay. It's better to walk away with a temporary wound than to live with permanent hurt.” Morning all, it’s hard to wait around for something that you know may never happen, but it's even harder to give up when you know it's everything that you want. But you have to forget what you WANT, to remember what you DESERVE! Never settle for being someone's OTHER when you know you have the potential to be someone's ONLY. Be mindful of the GOOD people you don't appreciate and take for granted because when they leave their taking all their privileges you USE to have with them. Wake Up..Forward progress... It's a feel good Friday and life is to short to be nothing but HAPPY!!! Be blessed and prosperous on today!

SANTA BARBARA COUNTY, Calif. (KTLA)

A person disappeared after being swept into the surf during a baptism in Santa Barbara County, Calif., Sunday morning, according to authorities.

Just before 10 a.m. on Sunday, three people were pulled into the ocean off Guadalupe Dunes Park near the conclusion of the baptismal ceremony, Capt. David Sadecki of the Santa Barbara County Fire Department stated in a news release.

Two of the people were able to get out of the water on their own and were uninjured, but a third person did not return and a search effort began, according to Sadecki.

Family members identified the missing person as a 43-year-old man from Santa Maria, Calif., according to TV station KCOY.

Water rescue teams and two helicopter searches were unable to locate the person, Sadecki stated.

On Monday, authorities investigated numerous reports that a body was seen in the water about 2 to 4 miles north of Guadalupe Dunes Park.

However, the object floating near the surf line was found to be fishing buoys that were mistaken for a body, Sadecki stated.

The fire department suspended their search for the person Monday morning, but U.S. Coast Guard personnel continued to search with a boat and a helicopter.

A California State Parks water rescue team was also at the scene with personal water crafts, according to Sadecki.
