Happy Memorial Day Weekend

Recently, I met up with my friend from Virginia, Mr. Brett Whitsitt.  Since, high school he has survived buds and become a Navy Seal.  Brett is in the process of writing a book and a movie producer is interested in making it into a major motion picture.   He is absolutely amazing and I feel empowered around him.  

Mr. Whitsitt was deployed for 11 months and he said that during this time he became desensitized to the bombs that would explode near his camp.  In fact, he got to a point where he would hear the explosion and roll over in bed.  Over the weekend, he shared some of his experiences and struggles that he encountered when deployed; really puts things in perspective.  No matter what he faced then, you are unable to break his spirit now.  I noticed everything was just “wonderful” and “nothing could get better” for Brett.  He really made me appreciate the blessings that we have in the United States and to be grateful for each and everyday.  I know that it is easy to be desensitized to the blessing around you due to daily stress and the same work routine.  So take a moment and open your eyes....

Thank the Lord for local heroes like Brett.  Happy Memorial Day!
