Troy’s Morning Coffee Reflections

I can feel the heat of the bullet I just can’t tell where I am hit. I heard the door latch just as he began to shoot. The bullets started slamming through the door. I looked around and saw Alec and called out – “Alec open the windows and get everyone out.” He may be the brightest student I have seen in 38 years. He reminds me of myself when I was that age; full of questions, and willing to buck the system to find a new answer. I can feel another bullet hit. My feet are slipping. I wish I was younger, my strength isn’t what it use to be.

Yahweh, please give me strength! My eyes lock onto Alec’s. Alec hurry, make sure you get them all out! I’ll be fine. After 38 years I had finally seen myself. Alec was a great one. He would change the world somehow, I just know it.

My mine was drifting, I know I have been hit more than once, Alec is out the window, I am the only one left. I’m tired I just want to lie down. Marlena will be upset because my shirt is messy…

Thank you, Yahweh, for the life you have blessed me with. If the Nazis would have known what I would become, they would never have let me live. 280 – 380 thousand of us killed in Romania alone and you allowed me to live.

Thank you for all these years with Marlena. No other woman could have put up with me. Joe will take care of her now. Well, I guess I will retire after all. Marlena, I love you…

Thank you Yahweh for allowing these kids to escape this slaughter… No pain, just tired. I think I will go to sleep and wait for help to arrive… I can hear more shooting down the hall… they’ll be here for me in a few minutes… I’m just going to sleep.

Dr. Liviu Librescu – Born 8/18/1930 – 04/16/2007 He was a pure servant leader!

His life was invested in serving others and equipping the next generation of leaders.

His final breath was taken serving those who had nothing to offer him, but their future potential. He died doing what he loved… serving others!

When you are through reading this post, take time to hug those you love.

And remember…

Dance as if no one is watching!
Sing as if no one is listening!
And live each day as if it’s your last!
