In My Opinion, The White House Was A Day Late & A Dollar Short (I think that is the expression) On 7/4/2025. It Appeared Signing A Bill, Photo Op's, Fireworks Took Precedent Over Missing/Dying Children/Folks In Kerrville, TX That Very Same Day. Where Was The Faith Office Advising The President In This Matter, Just Wondering?

You know, this has been on my heart since 7/4/2025 when learning about the start of this tragedy via JLR Investigates podcast livestreaming the news. There were a few opportunities in my opinion that surely the White House could have mentioned these hurting families experiencing devastation in their very lives, but guess what, CRICKETS. No mention of this national tragedy/catastrophe I would guess because it would possibly put a damper on the day's planned festivities. That is so terrible in my opinion to go about the day's events and no mention when a microphone was placed not only before our President but the likes of Lindsey Graham and not a word. I wonder if the Faith Office showed any concern about real folks in American and at least tried to speak to the President about this matter or suggested speaking of it to comfort the families that lost lives, homes, etc. My goodness, when so many children were missing from a local Christian campground and no mention of this at all until I think it was the next day. That just reminds me of the lack of importance of having this so called in my opinion Faith Office right in the White House. Gee, I do not recall seeing the likes of the office personnel on boots on the ground in Kerrville, TX releasing prayer for the devastation right there. Makes one wonder that if a office is set up as a faith based office then why were they not there with boots on the ground praying. No, that would not be as comfortable as sitting at a desk on a conference call with Intercessors of America.

I hate to admit this but in those hours I was almost ashamed as I saw the lack of empathy within our own government. I was speaking with 1 of my children yesterday and as we were discussing this tragedy in Kerrville, TX I reminded them that even though they are not a parent I can relate as a parent. When they were still in school each of the children were blessed to attend a Christian camp via a generous scholarship gifted to them. I tried to explain what a parent would even begin to imagine if a phone call was received by the camp saying our child was missing, possibly swept away in torrential rain/flooding

MAJOR EMERGENCY!! Texas Flooding. 43 DEAD!!

. I have great empathy for these families. I began to ponder how in the heck would a parent get there in rapid time because these camps do not tend to be right around the corner where one tends to live and with the devastation, could you even be granted access to the area.

In faith and love one sends their children to these sort of Summer Christian camps with never expecting to receive a devastating phone call, you dropped them off and told them to have fun and then never thinking the possibility of never being able to see them again or hug them or wish then a Happy Birthday, see them graduate and grow up. That is mind boggling to me. My child mentioned how they had fun at that camp experience.

What manner of signing a bill into law, watching fireworks could ever take precedent over the lives lost on that particular Federal holiday, Independence Day. I sure hope in the history books that day will show respect for lives lost & devastation and take precedent over the signing of a bill into law. That is my opinion and thoughts on this subject. God Bless the families going through this devastation.
