Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,
Whenever flames may rage;
Give me strength to save some life,
Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child
Before it is too late
Or save an older person
From the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest shout,
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling
And to give the best in me
To guard my every neighbor
And protect his property.

And if, according to my fate,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting
My children and my wife.

Relay For Life


This Friday, June 20, 2008 is the Relay For Life walk. I have been involved for the past few years now and it never fails to tug on my heart! My dad passed away 9 years ago from cancer and I want to do all I can to help research new cures for cancer so families don't have to lose loved ones to this nasty disease. Please come and show your support.
The Lynden Fire Dept will be barbecuing Friday night starting at about 5pm and will also be cooking breakfast Saturday morning starting about 6am. I will be there for the entire event. If you really want to see something amazing, come for the 10pm ceremony Friday night. This is when they light up the luminary bags along the track and have a message and testimonies. The bags are decorated honoring those fighting the battle or in memory of those who have lost the battle.
Please come check it out! No cost, just come and show your support! You can come see me too! :) If I'm not walking around I'll probably be by the First Aid tent!
It starts Friday at 6pm and goes through Saturday 12pm. Hope to see you there!
