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.

why!!wasen`t he praying to allah?
Mr. Edwards is a hero in his own right. He believes in God and knows that only God alone works through him and gives him the strength to do his job. No one has the right to take that away no matter what their beliefs are. Mayor needs to read the difference between church and state and break it down obviously so she can understand the meaning. Mr. Edwards is in my prayers and God will continue to see him through.
you can plainly see satan runs our government,he breaks our n1st amendment by this any thousands of other actions,f^%$ obama
This is sad!
5 times a day,pathetic,they are literally ending ameirca and starting united islam of america,we need stand up and turn silent majority to violent authority,they brought the fight here,wake up christians,we are not cowards we are fighting for freedom
a real American hero, let him pray, this is a Christian nation, built on Christian principles, who ever told him he couldn’t pray, send them somewhere overseas where you cant pray!!!!!!
B******T
If this mayor has never prayed she’s had a very blessed life.If you believe or not in times of trouble you pray!
If she does not answer for this here on earth, she will in heaven. We sould pray for her and leave it to Gd to take care of the consequences. I am sure God will bless Ronnie Edwards..
I hope the idiot that sentenced him to 30 days has a fire and no one shows up. What the hell is going on in America??????
