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.

Flying away......

Coffee with a friend

I went to coffee with a friend today.
Our daughters have so much fun together!




Running around and playing on the lightposts,
they were hyper after having hot chocolate!

My silly daughter

Gracie loves hats. She was calling this one her motorcycle hat.


Gorgeous Mountains

God's handy work shining!
Some days I take for granted the wonderful area we live in. The other day the sun was shining and the mountains were glorious! I just had to take pictures. They're not perfect, but that's b/c I was driving while taking these pictures.
Enjoy!

Snow

Here are my several snow pictures starting from the first day of snow.
Some are from my house, some are from my in-law's house.
