The 362nd day of 2017 started off with some excitement. On 12/28/17, a house on the street behind ours had a fire. It was a fire that could have been a lot worse than it ended up being. But the first responders reported, quickly, in sub-freezing temperatures, and quickly got the fire under control, saved as much of the house they could, and kept it from spreading any further. These first responders: Fire, Police, EMS, the nurses, doctors, and other health professionals, and, of course, the amazing men and women of the military who serve and protect, even when it's the holidays, and many times away from their family and friends. I never forget them, but, today, I am inspired to appreciate them even more. Given it's the fourth day of Christmas, I thought the most fitting image was this of verses of Psalm 10-11. Oaklyn certainly had its angels today!
