Look For a Sign

Happy Birthday Jesus(Please click the link for the story)So, this is what we are offended by? Not poverty, war, abuse or destruction of the environment but by a little old sign on the corner of a street in south Utica (NY).  This is what makes National news in a bad way??

Utica, NY is a predominantly Christian city but even non-Christians are so connected to Christians in the community that no one would be offended by such a thing. Except for one big attention seeking baby, of course. I think in situations like this, it is a good thing to “call a spade, a spade”.  That someone had time and inclination to complain about a sign like this when these men only serve and protect; when they literally walk into the “fires of hell” as a job and are simply showing gratitude for the protection they receive, completely blows me away. One of my mentors was the Fire Chaplain before he passed away twenty-five years ago and I imagine that he would be so proud of Chief Brooks today. Watching from heaven I can see him smiling.  So, stand your ground and protect the faith of your men Chief Brooks.  It is a ridiculous discussion on many levels but apparently one that we need to have for someone’s sake!May the heart that is too hard be softened.Hanukkah Blessings!!
