Godspeed, powerplant guys. We're getting ready to build 3 of these gasburners in NC and I can only hope we'll learn from what happened at Middletown. I've been building and operating big coalburners for 30 years. I've seen 6 fatalities in that time and I know life can change in a matter of seconds.

To the families of the CT Power plant victims:

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let your memories and the scriptures bring you hope.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned to see under the sun that the swift do not have the race, nor the mighty ones the battle, nor do the wise also have the food, nor do the understanding ones also have the riches, nor do even those having knowledge have the favor; because time and unforeseen occurrence befall them all.

Job 14:14, 15 If an able-bodied man dies can he live again? All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait, Until my relief comes. You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning.

Psalm 147:3 He is healing the brokenhearted ones, And is binding up their painful spots.

February 11, 2010

Our deepest sympathies to the families who lost their loved ones.
As I look across the river to the lights on the hill....it is a different sort of light that we had gotten used to seeing. No blinking red lights on the towers, just brightness and deep shadows.
But high in the sky there are now some very special stars....to look down upon the workers of the different trade unions, to keep them safe, to guide their hands. Blessings to those who work so hard to build our country every day, unseen, and until something tragic happens, just a construction worker.....not a face to go with a name.
