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.

Well your imaginary friend isn’t coming anytime soon I can promise you that… But what happened is wrong.
No… Just no
F**k you I have the rights to say anything I fucken want to bitch
Wait , what ?
keep praying and don’t let anyone stop you that is your right.
I was being facetious. Giffen is correct.
Seeing as the mayor of Dequincy, Louisiana, is Lawrence Henagan, a balding middle aged white guy, and not Lawana Jones, an atheist African American woman, as the story states, this story is unequivocally deemed NOT TRUE and everybody who reads this has been duped by false media.

Will this idiot of a mayor jail Muslims if they are municipal employees and take s prayer break, does Islam have special protection?
Insane
WE all know, and don’t need to guess where America is going. If our military, our government – senate – house – judicial – won’t change – then WE THE PEOPLE MUST Pray more and offer these hateful, detestable acts of evil to God. God sees – God knows – and God will act – time is getting very short – Obama is trying to really get America into a civil war – first it was between blacks and white – now muslims and christians. It’s that “old Rugged Cross”…..it get’s ’em roaring every time. But, this is what Isaiah says:
Be not afraid, for with thee I am, Look not around, for I am thy God, I have strengthened thee, Yea, I have helped thee, yea, I upheld thee, With the right hand of My righteousness.
41:10-20 God speaks with tenderness; Fear thou not, for I am with thee: not only within call, but present with thee. Art thou weak? I will strengthen thee. Art thou in want of friends? I will help thee in the time of need. Art thou ready to fall? I will uphold thee with that the right hand which is full of righteousness, dealing forth rewards and punishments. There are those that strive with God’s people, that seek their ruin. Let not God’s people render evil for evil, but wait God’s time. It is the worm Jacob; so little, so weak, so despised and trampled on by every body. God’s people are as worms, in humble thoughts of themselves, and in their enemies’ haughty thoughts of them; worms, but not vipers, not of the serpent’s seed. Every part of God’s word is calculated to humble man’s pride, and to make him appear little in his own eyes. The Lord will help them, for he is their Redeemer. The Lord will make Jacob to become a threshing instrument. God will make him fit for use, new, and having sharp spikes. This has fulfilment in the triumphs of the gospel of Christ, and of all faithful followers of Christ, over the power of darkness. God has provided comforts to supply all their wants, and to answer all their prayers. Our way to heaven lies through the wilderness of this world. The soul of man is in want, and seeks for satisfaction; but becomes weary of seeking that in the world, which is not to be had in it. Yet they shall have a constant supply, where one would least expect it. I will open rivers of grace, rivers of living water, which Christ spake of the Spirit, Joh 7:38,39. When God sets up his church in the Gentile wilderness, there shall be a great change, as if thorns and briers were turned into cedars, and fir-trees, and myrtles. These blessings are kept for the poor in spirit, who long for Divine enlightening, pardon, and holiness. And God will render their barren souls fruitful in the grace of his Spirit, that all who behold may consider it.
