Update: Joel wrote an explanation in the comments. I’ve included it below.
Ok, here is the short description. I was trying to arrest a guy who was trying to kill his estranged wife. In the process, I am ran over, and my left leg is crushed, multiple compound fractures. Suspect, John W. James, is eventually shot and arrested, lives, and is sentenced to 30 total years.
After many emotional states of wondering if I would walk again, and my leg breaking in half a year and a half later while trying to play basketball, I get to the point where I am accepting of everything that has occurred. Because of the permanent partial disability and severe arthritus in my knee, I am given a rather large workers compensation settlement which is then invested in our restaurant.
Had I not been ran over, there would never have been an opportunity for me to open a restaurant, particularly one this big and this nice. John James meant it for evil, but God meant it for good, thus the scripture (now underneath our textured wall), Genesis 50:20.
Amen

Joel,
Know that you are respected and that Jesus is glorified as a result of your comments!
I pray God’s blessings on your venture and look forward to visiting the Lazy Susan.
