Scott Richardson, 33 years old, was slain at a traffic stop on December 21st in the early evening. He was shot in the head. Chris Carter was wounded but saved by his vest. Both men were shot by the same 19 year old, who is still in the hospital after being wounded. I had the pleasure of meeting Scott and Chris many years ago at a conference. These guys were considered heroes even then. Now Scott is immortalized by giving the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. He leaves behind three young sons and a wife who will know see Christmas with a different meaning. All because of a young thug who had no respect for authority and himself, we will see the negative effect this heinous act will have on families and the community. Hundreds of people and law enforcement officials lined the streets and paid their respects and attended the funeral services. Please keep their families in your prayers. Video.
Sometimes, we tend to find excuses for the things that don't work out for us. We tend to blame others instead of taking responsibility for our actions, which only elevates the excuses. This behavior also applies to standing up for what is right. We often remain silent and wait for someone else to take the initiative instead of holding ourselves accountable. "What's your excuse, now?" is about empowering ourselves to make choices that will help us feel comfortable and confident in our skin.
