In Service

Monday morning a local police office lost his life in the line of duty being shot by an assailant and another man was arrested as well. The assailant actually ended up being killed in gun fire as well.

We do know that not all police officer are good guys. There are those who use their power and are selfish however this young police office was like most he served the community he lived in. He left behind a wife and three young sons. Also we found out that he had served in the Navy as well. So he was twofold serving both his country and then the people in the community to keep everyone safe.

Most police officers we don’t know their names until something like this happens however we honor them as well though there can be some bad apples among them.

We thank everyone who serves our country in whatever capacity they do whether it is in the military, police force, or as a school teacher. Also for those who are first responders when a tragedy happens as well. We pray for this police officers family along with all those who serve.

We all serve others in some capacity or another but we don’t all put our lives on the line this young man did. The important thing though we do what we do that goes beyond ourselves. This is why we were born for this time to make a difference in people’s lives. It doesn’t matter a large or small our contribution is what matters is that we are involved so we should applaud ourselves as well. Continue doing whatever contribution you make whether for one other person or many. Amen!
