Never give up!
This photo was taken around 10:00 PM one night after a grueling night of training at the fire academy. I was working a full time job and going to fire school at night. A few weeks prior to this, I found out the position I had held with a small but growing business was coming to an end. Whether I liked it or not, I would be starting over at age thirty-seven in a field that was much better suited for guys fifteen years younger than me. On this night, I had worked furiously all day to get off in time for class. By the time the night was over, I was exhausted. But I didn’t quit! Just in case you are thinking about giving up on yourself, or on God, or your family, or your career- DON’T!
