Ken and Carol Dorushka were having their morning cup of coffee, when Carol mentioned she needed some items from Safeway for lunch. Ken knew that Rep. Gabrielle Gifford would be holding a rally at the Safeway that morning, so he decided to go with his wife. Once at the supermarket they got into line along with everyone else to meet their congressional representative.
Suddenly shots rang out. Ken felt a bullet tear into his right arm. He pushed his wife to the ground and covered her body the best he could with his own body. Sensing the killer behind him, he believed the next bullet would be the one of his own execution. Lying there, he whispered into Carol's ear, "Here I come, God." Fortunately for the Dorushkas, the shooter, Jared Loughner, moved beyond them.
John says, "But I ask you to protect them from the evil one." We will never know why six died that day and thirteen others were wounded. We will never know why some escaped the flying bullets altogether. But, we do know, that in all of life's traumas we need protection from the evil one. And the protection may not come with the splintering of a bullet but in the years of recovery.
