Pray for this lineman who was severely burned while helping restore power

A lot of people in the U.S. who were hit by the recent winter storm may be annoyed to be out of power still in some states. But, you must remember in this world where instant gratification is usually easily obtained, that there are hard working human beings who are trying their best and risking their lives to restore everyone’s power like this story below:

Praying for everyone affected by the big winter storm that just hit a few days ago and the South especially

Praying

I have always loved Music City A.K.A Nashville, Tennessee. Now they need our prayers. I just read this update from WSM4 Nashville and 20 people have died already in the ice storm that has crippled my favorite city.

And many other states have had deaths, and power outages, as well that they are still recovering from.

Here is more information about the storm according to the Weather Channel.

Tonight in Cheyenne, Wyoming we have a freezing fog warning. Bundle up tomorrow morning and drive safely because the roads could be icy.
