What a busy weekend for the campaign and for my family! I hope you all had a wonderful Independence Day and were able to take a bit of time during your celebrations to reflect on the independence and freedoms we have. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the many men and women who have fought and are fighting for the freedom we often take for granted. May God continue to bless this land!
On Saturday, July 4th, we participated in the Griffin Parade. Thanks so much to my family: Roy, Kyle and Skyler, and to my friends: Ashton and Slade, who helped make the event a lot of fun and quite successful. We were able to hand out hundreds of contact cards, meet many people and make my candidacy more widely known. It was a lot of fun watching how excited the little children were!
Afterward, we attended the Griffin TEA Party on the courthouse steps. It is exciting to me to see our citizens becoming vocal and participating in the government process by expressing themselves. The only way to change to direction of the country or community is to become actively involved.
Saturday concluded with a fun time with family and friends. Sunday was an awesome day of worship.
Sunday night brought some destructive storms to our area. Our home, fences and lawnmower were slightly damaged and our backyard filled with fallen limbs. We are so blessed that everyone was okay! Many others in our district are cleaning up, too. My understanding from the paper is around 200 trees fell and several homes were damaged. As far as I know, there were no injuries. Praise the Lord!
I would like to thank the law enforcement, public works department and electric department, and everyone who helped in any way for their efforts over the last couple of days. As always, they were quick to respond and have worked tirelessly to get things back to normal. Thanks guys!!
Blessings!
