Taking A Stand - In The Face Of Certain Adversity

I am somewhat of a news junkie, I daily check CNN, MSNBC, Fox etc... to check and see what is going on in the world. 

I was shocked yesterday when I was on CNN and read about and saw a video of the gunman that walked into a Florida School Board meeting and let all of the visitor's and women go but made the 6 men on the board stay.  For those of you who have not seen this story the lone gunman, Clay Duke, was anti-government and his wife was let go from a school and he said in the video "someone is going to die in here."  However this story is not about Mr. Duke this story is about the school superintendent, William Husfelt, and the stand he took on NATIONAL news with Anderson Cooper. 

In the interview Cooper asked Mr. Husfelt to recount what had happened at the school board meeting.  When the gunman began to shoot he was only 6 - 8 feet from the school board members.  What I really want to focus on is the superintendent for a PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM told Anderson "I don't have a death wish, but I know if I died today I know where I am going and I was fine with that."  Later on in the interview Mr. Husfelt told Anderson that he believed that the "Good Lord" was standing in front of him because there were two bullet holes back behind where he sat during this ordeal.  

What I love about this is the fact that story is national news and the superintendent was very clear on why he believes he is still alive and I think that it is AWESOME that someone is taking a stand for the Lord especially someone as high in office as a superintendent.  

If you would like to see the interview go to cnn.com and click on the video portion of the site and look for the interview entitled "You Knew Somebody Was Going To Die."  It is a 9 minute video but it is great, I just pray that people will continually take a stand.
