Baptist Youth Choir Serenades Colorado Firefighters
By Todd Starnes
"As the sun began to fade behind Pikes Peak, firefighters trudging back to their command post at Pine Creek High School in Colorado Springs, heard a most unusual sound.
“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound…”
It was Tuesday, June 18th. 8 p.m. Shift change.
“Twas grace that taught my heart to fear…”
The command center was a flurry of activity. Weary firefighters were returning from the front lines – looking for a hot meal. Their replacements were suiting up – fire engines rumbled, sirens wailed. But above the clamor was that most unusual sound.
“Through many dangers, toils and snares…”
Many of the firefighters had been away from their families for days – waging war on the Black Forest Fire – a blaze that has already killed at least two people, destroyed more than 500 homes and consumed more than 14,000 acres of land. These have been difficult days.
But for a brief moment on Tuesday – a group of young people from more than 1,400 miles away – brought a bit of joy to the Black Forest Fire command post when they serenaded the firefighters with music."

Despite his crushing loss, the teenage son of a popular Texas youth pastor Brian Jennings, who was killed just minutes before Father's Day while trying to help a stranded motorist, has decided to heed the lesson on forgiveness his dad had planned to teach on Sunday.
"What I've felt since that night is sadness, anger and confusion," 19-year-old Evan Jennings told reporters on the eve of his father's memorial service on Tuesday.In the hours shortly after his father died, the teen who had celebrated his high school graduation with his father and other members of his family on Saturday night, shortly before the deadly crash that claimed the lives of three others, splashed his grief on Twitter in a series of tweets.
"My dad was murdered by a drunk who abandoned his friends at the wreck and ran my dad over all to avoid getting caught," the grieving teen tweeted on Father's Day. "He tried to help those people and was killed for it."
