I hope you’ll join me in praying for swift healing for the deputy shot last night in Peoria. My thoughts are with every brave peace officer who works in service and protection of all people.

I’m not hiding. 🙄 The articles aren’t even written yet. I’m close with Robin and talked with her before she announced the intent and will be with her. Have to accept the processes.
