Lufkin ,Tx — A Norman Rockwell-like photo of five Lufkin firefighters has gone viral on Facebook.
After a long day of training Wednesday, the five firefighters — Lt. Wade Modisette, Joe Clark, Cody Walton, Triston Whitehead and Spencer Wood — were caught on camera bowing their heads to pray before enjoying a meal at Skyline Burrito Bowls in The Lufkin Mall. The photo, posted on the restaurant’s Facebook page, had received 52,000-plus likes as of 8:30 p.m. Thursday — just 24 hours after it was taken.

Big difference between these quiet Hero's and Jimmy Swagart. Looks to me like they were trying to get God's attention, just to say thanks.

These religious people should read Matthew 6:5,6 and they would discover that God forbids praying in public!
So you don't go to church?

Matthew 6:5,6 does not forbid praying in public. It forbids praying for attention. These men were asking for blessing for their meal and had no idea they were being photographed and they were not attempting to garner attention for it. Perhaps you should re-discover the bible yourself. Perhaps everyone reading this should, including me, it's always good no matter how familiar with it you are.
