Last July three officers were gunned down in Louisiana.
Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. Last July three officers were gunned down in Louisiana. That same week in another state, Officer Causey pulled into a gas station to fill up his squad car. As he got out, a 73-year-old Army veteran walked toward him and told him, “Thank you for what you do. And just know, I have your back.” Having said that, the veteran turned around to guard the officer as he pumped gas. Officer Causey was shocked. In the wake of such violence, here was a man willing to put himself in danger to protect him. Once Causey finished, the veteran drove off, not even giving his name. But Causey will never forget him. Ecclesiastes chapter 4 says that “A person standing alone can be attacked… but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.” This week, find someone you can stand with, someone you can protect and serve. It’s the Ecclesiastes thing to do.
