Seems a lot of my EMS family having a bad day. So I am posting this for you all.

The medic stood and faced God, which must always come to pass. He hoped his uniform was clean. He's gotten dressed kinda fast. " step forward now my medic". How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To my church have you been true?
The medic squared his shoulder and said,
No Lord, I guess I ain't
cause those of us who wade in blood
can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays
and at times my talk was tough
and sometimes I've been violent
cause the work is awful rough.
But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear.
and sometimes, God forgive me, I wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people hear.
They never wanted me around, except to calm their fears.
If you have a place for me Lord, It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much and if you don't I understand.
There was a silence all around the throne, where Saints had often trod.
As the medic waited quietly for the judgement of his God.
"Step forward now my medic. You've born your burdens well.
Walk peacefully on heavens streets.
You've done your time in Hell.

It is important to note that pipes bursting are not caused by ice swelling in place. Rather, it is the pressure from the unfrozen water between the ice and the closed faucet that is the primary cause of ruptures.
