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.

Berthusen Park

Sunday evening we went to Berthusen so the kids could see the tractors, well, the ones that were actually still there. But that was good enough for them. They loved it! Afterwards we walked through the park and found a log "bridge" that after some persuasion Carson decided to cross it, with daddy nearby of course! He did very well and went several times, getting faster each time he crossed.




This is from the bridge you drive over in the park.
Gracie watching her brother.

After crossing the log bridge several times they wanted to play on the playground for a while.


Gracie was very proud of herself going down the big slide!

My daring children going down head first.
Notice daddy standing very close by!

Now the sweetest picture of all:
