Risking his life for eighteen years as a firefighter, Ronnie Edwards has prayed at every emergency scene. His actions have earned him the title of the “Praying Fireman” and those he works alongside admire and support his work ethic and his noble prayer habit. This habit of prayer has landed him in jail for 30 days.
The new mayor of DeQuincy, Lawana Jones is the “first democratic mayor in its history, an African American”, is an atheist, and has taken exception to Edwards prayer life. When she learned of Edwards praying at fires, she decided to do something about it. Sending a memo to all city employees, she told them that “any expression of personal religious belief while on duty was a violation of their contract with the city.”
Ronnie Edwards chose to keep up his prayer vigil as he believes that he must do what Jesus asks of him and not cave to the whims of an atheist mayor.

It’s gone.
Where is the governor and the mayor??????
You are absolutely right! I think it might be over for USA. Money is suppose to change, end of this month or next, when it does, your dollars won’t be worth a fraction, of original worth. Chaos, then martial law.
I can’t believe what this Country is becoming! We need a serious change NOW !
oh come on!
Am I misinformed or is this athiest mayor wrong. This is an illegal assessment of her duties. She has the power as mayor to suspend the fireman for disobeying a diretc order, but to sentence him to 30 days in jail. Since when dic the mayor become judge, and jury.
Nuts
Judge should be punished for not protecting his freedom. The citizens of his town should stand up for the fireman.
That mayor needs to be fired.
I’ll do his 30 days !!!!
