    God calls us to be spiritually alert and prepared to respond when He calls. There’s a world that needs us now… not later.

    Introduction As a Firefighter one of the worst things in the world that can happen is sleeping through an alarm… I remember one time after we had a long day of hose testing, everybody was pretty tired and we were hoping for a quite night, which never seems to happen… about 1:00 or 2:00 in the ...read more
