Powerful indeed. One of my ...Powerful, Elizabeth! Powerful indeed. <BR/>One of my favorite books as a child, was one on a famous old photographer for the NYFD, Weegee; and one of my favorite shots in the whole book was one of a NYFD Chaplain, walking down an alley after a huge '40's fire, with his head bowed down...he had been there all night, and had lost three firefighters. <BR/>I served for a few years, as staff Chaplain for the Chattanooga Fire Department, and the worst I had to deal with was the death of a firefighter's family in an automobile accident. I spent 9/11 and 9/12 in the chancel of St. Paul's, Chattanooga, and can only imagine what you went through at the Seaman's Institute.<BR/>May He richly bless your work and faith.Chip Johnson+, SF, CoJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16114810191282776023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-1158158427347088172006-09-13T10:40:00.000-04:002006-09-13T10:40:00.000-04:00Thank you for this, Rev.

And in some way, though it's not directly relevant, it will give a new meaning to Ash Wednesday for me (maybe that seems weird, but that's what popped into my head, along with the Holocaust and Pompeii).Suzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03529580138314011952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-1158113925667463232006-09-12T22:18:00.000-04:002006-09-12T22:18:00.000-04:00Thanks!

Not because of some stupid idea of vengance, but because evil should never be allowed to fade into the background. I feel the same way about the Shoah.<BR/><BR/>FWIW<BR/>jimBJimBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312606954135884910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29373297.post-1158073376341320622006-09-12T11:02:00.000-04:002006-09-12T11:02:00.000-04:00Beautifully said.
