Prayers
for firefighters and victims
By DAVID
EPPS
Pastor
I awakened suddenly
as the urgent ringing of telephone rudely interrupted my peaceful slumber
at about 5:30 a.m. on that cold, dreary day. As a law enforcement chaplain,
I am often called to the scene of tragedies and this was one of those
calls. I quickly dressed and stepped out into the drizzling rain which
had fallen throughout the night. The temperature was a bone-chilling
33 degrees, just one degree above snowfall. I started the nearly frozen
automobile, wrapped my heavy coat around me, pulled on my gloves, stuck
a seldom-worn hat on my head and drove into the blackness of the night
that had, so far, refused to yield to the coming dawn.

of trouble.
