Jewells of Thought

This weekend was not what I meant by ‘Big Events’ the other day in my last post. So many thoughts and feelings to still sort through from… everything. My feet right now are just warming up from being rained on up at Indianapolis.

Thank God President Trump was only grazed. The Lord was truly watching over him yesterday and our Country for that matter. I don’t even want to think about what would have happened had that bullet gone where it was supposed to… only a couple millimeters higher. That is a black hole I don’t want to go into.

Yet another family is going through the nightmare that my family just went through cold blooded murder. We lost two beloved family members because of a woman texting and not watching what she was doing with the possibility of extra-curriculars also in her system. A family who went to support their President left the rally without a family member a Retired Fire Chief Corey Comperatore. This 50 year old man was a hero and was hit while shielding his daughters from the bullet that actually pierced through him.

My cousin Kenny was also 50, but he was still working. Just earlier in the week he came to Uncle Dick’s visitation on Monday night after we had been there and left. He had to go then because he worked a shift the next day during the funeral. Kenny and Corey were heros they had a calling with the specific jobs they had performed all their lives. Now we have lost two good men a Retired Firefighter and an EMT way too soon.

Like I said my thoughts are all jumbled tonight and waterlogged from walking in the rain for too long this afternoon. On top of having been fried by the heat before the thunderstorm overtook us literally. I had just seen the both elephants behind and before we knew it the sky was dark and about to erupt. This will be an interesting week as we watch the Republican National Convention and the continuing query of what will happen with Biden and his divided party.

Say a prayer for the Comperatore Family and Thank God for Trump’s graze. Plus I hate to admit while I was at the funeral dinner last night I received word of a close church friend’s passing. Christine Hubbert was 102 and she died I believe on Friday, Thankfully we know she was reunited with her husband Reece and finally met Christ her Savior. It is still just too many deaths to have within such a short month. Which is why today being out of Sullivan County and Greene County was nice for a while even if it meant being caught in a rain storm.
