Tragic Loss

This week our community suffered another great loss...as a one-year remembrance service was held for one of our fallen officers, another was killed senselessly in the line of duty. Last night the community came together in a show of support by placing a lit candle on their porch for those officers on duty to know the community stands behind them.

As I drove home late from a meeting last night, I gave pause as I saw the candles flickering on so many porches in our neighborhood. We placed our candle out and even though it was a windy night and there was rain, our candle stayed lit through the night and was still burning this morning. Please pray for our community and for all of the men and women serving our nation as true heros; giving of themselves to make our world a better place, making the greatest of sacrifices for our comforts and safety that we take for granted each day.
