Today, up in Spokane, they are having a BLM rally. We had thought of going up for the day but cancelled our plans when we heard about that. I am fearful of a few bad apples going off and causing huge problems up there and I don't want to be anywhere near any potential danger.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-51080359617396181622016-07-09T10:38:17.221-07:002016-07-09T10:38:17.221-07:00Bless your heart Debbie, an incredibly powerful po...Bless your heart Debbie, an incredibly powerful post and I pray that you did have a blessed birthday in spite of the awful situation that is taking place in our country. Give your sons a hug from our family, and know that our prayers are with them! I don't blame your son for beginning to carry a weapon off duty. We must all be vigilant and careful in these days where someone can go off the deep end and do some terrible thing. <br /><br />Hugs and blessings to you today my dear friend!

One of them lives in an area where there is so much anger towards the police and he knows that he could be a target. He went out and bought himself a pistol today, which he is already legally certified to carry, to have on him to both protect himself and others around him, even when he is off duty. My other police officer son already does this. As a mom, I fully support their decision to do this but at the same time am deeply saddened that they have been put in a position where they need to do this. It hurts to see my sons knowing that they are targets because of hate. I try not to let my fear for them overwhelm me but I will fully admit that it has within the last 24 hours.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-62837213275342547512016-07-08T19:02:05.472-07:002016-07-08T19:02:05.472-07:00Happy Birthday Debbie!

I believe (in my own warped mind) that all this stuff happening, has the governments blessings and I think they could be behind it all. They want us scared, unarmed, and weak - so they can have total control over our lives.<br /><br />God bless these police officers and their families. God made a special place for them in heaven.<br />Thank you Debbie.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-73045242001193007372016-07-08T11:44:24.057-07:002016-07-08T11:44:24.057-07:00Thank you Dorothy and thank you to your husband an...Thank you Dorothy and thank you to your husband and to you too for his service.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-16578931823624353692016-07-08T11:43:34.849-07:002016-07-08T11:43:34.849-07:00Thank you Wendi.
