Father, as you know, there were four homicides in our Nation's Capitol last night. We need you, Lord Jesus!
I believe in your promises and I trust in your second coming! Those who know you await your arrival.
Until then, Father your healing and comfort is desperately needed for the family and friends who suffered this great loss. In your son's name, I pray. Amen.
A New Heaven and a New Earth
"…And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."…

Keep Up The Faith & Fight!
We received the below letter from a Christian mom who appreciates our Law Enforcement efforts.
Our Assistant Chief, Diane Groomes shared it with us via group e-mail:
I just love it!
Dear Diane,
With all the hate speech aimed at our law enforcement lately, I want to reach out to as many departments as possible with words of thanks and encouragement. I am a Christian, single mother of three and all I want to say is, please, don't give up on us all. I am with you, not against you and so is God. All the disrespect for authority is just the ugly fruit of a culture growing in un-godliness. I am so grateful for the police. I know most of you are doing what you do because you have a heart of justice. I imagine it is such a difficult job dealing with the rebellious people of society. Day in and day out feeling hated by them. Walking a difficult line. I just want to encourage you with this letter and show my appreciation for all you do and go through. I respect our police, fire department and military for all they do. I thank you, thank you, thank you for putting your life and sanity on the line for my sake daily. I pray that our heavenly Father brings you peace and rest in this turbulent world. May He strengthen you and give you perseverance to do all He has called you to do. May His blessings of protection and wisdom come upon you all the days of your life. With all sincerity, Kristi Smith-Willis

A Classic Photo
I saw this yesterday while at the Police Academy. They have the coolest collection of photos on the walls there. So much history in this picture. The ability for blacks and whites to work and walk alongside one another was not permitted at the conception of the Metropolitan Police Department. This picture says a lot! I love it!

Awesome Feeling
to be known for more than just a "cop!"
These were gifts from Assistant Chief Diane Groomes. So very special of her to think of me in that way. So grateful. A memory buried deep in my heart!

The Full Armor
Lord, I cannot do it without you!
Ephesians 6:10-18
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,
