Building a Blaze

I grew up with a dad who loved to "chase" firetrucks and apparently I married a firetruck "chaser" too. Once Cory heard about the fire in the condo building tonight, he was antsy to get over to watch it. I kept saying that there was no need to go, there was live coverage on woodtv.com so why not just stay in our warm home and watch. But, oh no, we just had to go and check it out! (I must say it was intriguing as it was the condo building Cory's sister used to live in years ago.) So we packed up and actually met up with Cory's parents who were already there. Joshua sure got to see lots of firetrucks and a horrible fire. He was fascinated with the ladder trucks and the water spraying. While watching Joshua kept saying, "that's bad!" We just watched in awe as the time ticked by and very little progress was being made in stopping the blaze. It was interesting to see, but very sad at the same time. On the way home Joshua kept talking about how bad the fire was so we decided we should pray for the people who lost their homes as well as the hard working fire fighters who have spent many hours in the chilling weather fighting the fire. Join us in praying for those involved in this devastating event.
