I am a fire chief for a paid on call fire department, I work as a sales representive for a ag supply company . I am married to my best friend, and have 6 kids and as of today 14 grandchildren. The last few years have been an emotional battle as I reflect on my life. I feel that for too long I have been concentrating on things that will not last for eternity.

Weary
The Bible tells us to not be weary in well doing (Gal.6:9). But right now I think that is what I am. It has been a busy day here. The weather has gone from slightly chilly, to cold with rain and snow and then back to rain. We started today with a fire call for a business south of town. They had electrical problems, and it turned out to be a simple wire cut from a piece of roof flashing. The previous sentences were written at about 8:15 PM, it is now 1:30AM and I just sat down to a couple of cookies and a glass of milk, after a long, wet night on a fully involved house fire. First on we have had in our district in 18 months. Roads were a muddy mess, house was way back on the end of a narrow dirt road. Hard to find and harder to fight. Had a good turnout but now everyone is cold, wet and tired. Left 2 guys on fire watch with #2 engine, they will watch it until later this early morning. After the wire call this morning we had a Vehicle accident with pin-in on the expressway. Had to make a convertible out of a late model Dodge pickup. The passenger wasn't hurt to bad. Lost it on the sudden snow covered road. Had planned on talking about being weary, but right now after these cookies and milk, it will be a hot shower and bed. Busy day tomorrow, may have take a day of vacation to meet the fire investigator and also get the air truck filled with air.
