This shakes me to the core…..the ultimate sacrifice…a true hero……such a man of God. We mourn, we honor the life of Pastor Mark Robinette. Team Jesus, please be in prayer for the family and the congregation. We weep at this heroic sacrifice, we weep tears of sorrow for a man of such bravery.
I ask you…..would you do the same? I would…..I was a firefighter back in the early 80’s in Osceola, Indiana. I have been trained to do so. As a Husband and Father, I would die saving my family and others. My Dad and Grandpa were firefighters, it is in my blood.
Firefighter Creed: I humbly serve as a Guardian to my community always ready to respond to those who are unable to help themselves. I do not advertise the nature of my work or seek recognition for my actions. I voluntarily accept the inherent hazards of my profession placing the welfare and security of others before my own.
