Three years ago, we weren’t sure Johnny would ever walk again — much less return to duty.
After a 94-day fight with COVID, he came home by the grace of God.

Fast-forward to December 2022: Mark and I had dinner with Johnny and Brenda, celebrating his retirement as the longest-serving Chief in Blue Ridge history. The same week, there was a major event to celebrate his BRPD retirement.

Three months ago, I saw him at Twitty City, retired and smiling, playing softball like a teenager.

And today?
He’s putting the uniform back on.

That’s not luck.
That’s not coincidence.
That’s the Lord writing a story only He could write.
