Held to a higher standard

As a christian woman, I am held to a higher standard, as an Army wife and mom, I am held to a higher standard.  My kids as soldiers in the US Army are held to a higher standard and my husband as retired military too.  I keep that in mind daily as I am out in the public eye, dealing with clients, and at appointments.  I uphold that even behind closed doors.

Police are held to a higher standard and it irritates me when I see abuses of that power, on the road as they do not obey traffic laws, run stop signs and text while driving.  YOU are held to a higher standard!

Justice was finally served for the families who were forever changed by the actions of David Bisard.  You took the life of one and injuring at least 2 others because of a decision you made and for some reason you believed you were above.  I feel for his wife and children who have to live with his guilt and I will keep them in my prayers, it cannot be easy for them.

None of us are above the law and we may think for a fleeting moment that we can do "it" just this once, but all it takes is one time and lives can be changed forever.  No matter who you are, where you are, someone is always watching and someone is impacted.  Sometimes we don't know or appreciate what we have until it's gone or it's threaten.  Actions always have consequences, some are good and some are not.  Life changed in an instant.
