Bits and Bytes

Today I was serving as a volunteer chaplain for Lincoln Police Department and Lincoln Fire and Rescue. I really enjoy that volunteer work and generally take about four days per month. What made today different was what happened right after lunch. I needed to go home to drop something off and on my way I thought I would stop at Fire Station 12 on South 84th Street just to say hello. About the time I turned off 84th I heard an alert on the police radio that chaplains are equipped with. To hear **ATTENTION ALL UNITS** is not that unusual, but this time it hit home. Dispatch stated that fire alarms were going off in the apartment building we live in. My heart began to race, the adrenalin began to flow. I swerved back onto the road and headed quickly for home. I knew my wife was at work so I didn't worry about that. But I thought, almost out loud, "If there is a fire, what do I want to save?"
