You never know when or where or how... We take so much for granted. Joseph leaves us with a gift, A reminder... Tomorrow is never guaranteed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Mt. Arlington PD, Joseph Wargo's family and friends. I post this in his honor...

BLUE AUTUMN

That day was like others nothing special at all
We passed one another said hi in the hall
We took it for granted that nothing would change
But then, time seemed to gel, it felt surely strange

Suddenly the news struck with lightening heat
Officer down, my heart skipped a beat
See we’re all brothers that hang from the same family tree
But today, it was your turn; your leaf was blown free

We finally break rank and most walk away
They turn to look back, just a few there still stay
The ones from your squad still stand by and stare
Not able to leave, a pain they all share

The crowd is all gone and the wind shakes the trees
The tears start to fall like the dry autumn leaves
Why was it you and not one of them?
A question they’ll ask again and again

So now when we see our brother or sister go by
Why not take a second to say more than just hi
Tomorrow might be too late, don’t you see
Who’s leaf will be next… blown from the tree…?

I Praise God for the lives He saved each time I made a careless, selfish, and foolish decision to drive drunk. I Praise God for more than six (6) years of sobriety. I Praise God for doing for me what I couldn't do for myself. I Praise God for Judge Ford.
My prayer is that God takes this awful tragedy and works it for the good of those that love God, and called according to His purpose, so that Officer Joseph Wargo did not die in vain, in Jesus' name, AMEN.
