March 9

It's time for spring cleaning in my house. We had twenty years worth of old papers and receipts that needed to go into file thirteen, but, placing them in the garbage didn't seem like a good idea. So, I decided to build a nice fire to dispose of them, back to my country way of thinking. I live near the city and I started hearing fire trucks and a helicopter flying right overhead. I thought that there was a big accident out on the highway until a nice gentleman walked into my back yard dressed like a fireman! One of my neighbors, bless their heart, had called the fire department thinking my house was on fire. It made me realize how fortunate I am to be in a country where we have such amazing public servants ready to jump into action to save me and my home. Though this could have been quite serious, I have to admit that it was kind of humorous, but, I still felt bad for all the ruckus it caused. 

But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. Mark 10:43-45
