A prayer for safety for those that are helping us

Jul 28, 2006

We don’t watch the news on a regular basis, so Darla was left to tell us that one of the crew members that is working so hard to get everyone’s power on here, died. Apparently, he died doing his job. Our prayers and best wishes go out to his family and friends. He had a job where you don’t think he might not come home. Not a policeman, or a fireman, or a convenience store clerk. (One of the most likely to get you killed jobs in this country statistically speaking.) He was searching for downed power lines. It should have been safe, but so much debris, so many trees down, that what should have been safer, wasn’t. I’m sure that our prayers are cold comfort to the people that held him dear, but it is all we can offer. That, and our thanks to him and all the men and women that are working to help us get our lives back to normal. Be careful out there guys, be safe.
