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.
We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.
