Another year shot to hell....

2014, be not proud.... We have had nasty elections,

but that is getting to be business as usually....

But there is the police related shootings.. Michael Brown,

Tamir Rice, and the choking of Eric Garner. The killing

of a dog who was inside of a truck, because the police

officer panicked. Even local.. the police shot and killed

a young woman with mental problems... 

We have police officers shot in their car as they eat

their lunch on the run in New York...another in Florida.

The beginning of those words might seem like I am

anti-police.. but I am not..

It is sad that the few, make it so bad for those who

work so hard to keep peace in a town. Who work

so hard with the public.. and now will have even a

harder job of it, with recent problems.. And now

some of the innocent police officers pay with their

lives. Breaking the hearts of families. 2 boys are

left with out a dad.. and a new wife lost her husband.   

             The good news is that the police departments nation

wide are taking another look at their training sessions and

trying to make changes.  While that is wonderful..

it still going to be a very hard job. When an officer

leaves his car, he never knows if he gets to return

to it.  So trying to juggle the new awareness, of

how to handle situations.. the bad element is still

there.  And families never know how much of a

good by will be at the beginning of  a shift will

be a permanent one.  Or yelling about police

officers deserving to die, effects those families

especially the children of those officers.

The ISIS killing the people of many countries (as it isn't

just our countrymen that are being beheaded).

There were many headlines we didn't want to know

about.. and there will be more coming. Some of

which, personally don't think the public has the

right to know everything.. and especially before

all the facts come in..

There is good out there. There are children who

are out there helping other children.. or pass

out blankets for homeless...

There are the hero's who jump in freezing water

to help those in trouble.

On the person level, there was sadness this year..

I lost two people who I care about. My brother, and

a friend.. yet there was joy, with the birth of two of

my great grandchildren.

And the King and I have our health and we are safe.

Let's pray that 2015 will be kinder.
