A Day Late And A Dollar Short

Giggles, yes I do know that today is Monday and not Sunday but I still wanted to share my love with my family who read this.

For a quick serious note some of you know 18 firefighters were killed in a fire in Prescott on Friday. The fire started when lightening sparked over some dry brush area and ended up burning 6,300 acres and over 200 homes.. I have many family members who are a part of the firefighting community in Arizona and I can't imagine the loss that those family members are going through. My Uncle is a retired fire chief who still goes around fighting fires and training other areas with smaller fire departments and my two cousins are fire fighters training to also be paramedics for the fire department. All of them live in the Flagstaff area but go down to Prescott on a regular basis to help out.  It is a such an important job that is generally under appreciated until they are needed or lost. Firefighters are a special breed of man or woman who is a real hero every day that they are willing to put their lives at risk to save us all. So the next time you see a fire fighter I hope that you would take a minute or two to show how much their dedication is appreciated. I know I will be doing that. I know some of you pray so if you can keep not only the 18 fire fighter families in mind but also the firefighters who were close to them who now have to think about the real fact that death can happen on the job.

Now because I don't do many heavy stuff I wanted to end the blog with this which of course is mostly for Master because once again I can so see one of his children asking this....

A little boy was listening to a Bible story. His dad read, "The man named Lot was warned to take his wife and flee out of the city but his wife looked back and was turned to salt." Concerned, the little boy asked, "What happened to the flea?"
