The football was kicked, and the player backed up to get into position to catch it. Then, he apparently tripped and fell backward. A few minutes later, the Seahawks scored a touchdown.

In a moment of misjudgment, consequences became clear. The extended pause granted by a year’s reflection offers an opportunity for profound personal growth. Those fleeting seconds that serve as a powerful catalyst for contemplating for the year. The experience promises not just individual learning, but a broader lesson that resonates with others, creating a ripple effect of understanding and change. This period of contemplation will likely forge a path of wisdom, ensuring such errors remain firmly in the past for him as well as those that observed.

Just a while before, another man made a mistake. He decided to interfere with law enforcement officers in there job. Worse, he brought his gun with him. This man will not have a year to consider his error. An agent spotted the gun and seconds later the man was dead.

Hopefully, others will learn from his actions. I don’t know. It has become very clear that neither the mayor nor the governor figured it out. Well, maybe they did. They have found their club with which to attack the agents and Trump. Nothing would please them more than for it to occur again, providing still another weapon to attack good men doing their jobs.

It would be a good idea for us all to remember what this man seemed to overlook. When these agents are doing their jobs, they do get a little jumpy when they encounter a gun. Personally, I don’t blame them.
