    This was on a friend of mine's facebook today and I found some comfort in it so I thought I would share. Her family knew one of the young men who died from church. He spoke about his faith and good coming from loss.

    "I only knew one of these men, Clayton. He taught at Heights Church for some time, & I remember to this day one of his services. He taught about how God allows firestorms into our life for the purpose of letting something new & beautiful begin. There are seeds that have the potential of growing into beautiful trees & plants but can only grow if first germinated. The high temperatures of these fires germinate the seeds. Same thing in our lives, we have to suffer high temperatures in order to have the beauty that comes from it."

    Thanks all of you and anyone else who adds to this post!

    Most of all thank you to the firefighters who are still out there doing their jobs and again to those hero's who lost their lives to it!

    We know you are watching over us, and you will never be forgotten!

    My thoughts and prayers to those firefighters that lost their lives battling that fire and to the ones that are still out there battling that fire and all of their families. I have several firefighters in my family and I work with all the fire rescue crews in 16 counties (first responder and hazmat crews) and it is a great loss every time we lose even one of these heros.

    The Westboro Baptist Church was planning a protest at the funeral but AZ was smart enough to pass a law a few years ago that makes it illegal to protest within 300 ft of a funeral or graveside an hour before or after a funeral. Its probably a good thing for them though because bikers from across the southwest were ready to descend upon Prescott and block any protestors dumb enough to show their faces.
