Taking back control.....

Taking back control of our lilfe is what Chad and I decided it was time to do over vacation. So, next week I'm going to start working one more day at home because it was supposed to happen two months ago.  Over the past few years we've sacrificed and done for others too much at times but now with a son things are different. So that's what we were going to do, take back control. Then this afternoon a sheriff's deputy was killed serving a search warrant (Chad will be doing the same twice next week) and I'm reminded how out of control our of lives we really are.   We don't know him personally, but these types of events shake you to the core. Deputy Mahaffey had two young children; one a baby who will never know his father who died protecting others. What an honorable way to die, but so devestating that it has to happen.  And these types of things don't just happen to law enforcement officers they happen to all sorts of people. So life is precious; especially precious in my heart right now.
