07-06-2013 – “Suspect is a black male, 8-1-66. Driving a brown 1984 Chevrolet. Tag number 014-PBQ”.

07-05-2013 – My eyes were drawn to this one bulletin. The subject was wanted for a double murder.  To this day the bulletin is still burned into my memory. 

07-04-2013 – On this occasion I was drawn to the bulletin board in the police substation giving information on subjects who were wanted. 

07-03-2013 – One last story to emphasis the attribute of justice with the Lord. Most of the time before going on duty I would ask the Lord for a clear mind, and the ability to act quickly to protect others.

07-02-2013 – Learning to listen and obey the Lord are critical attributes for the Lord’s people.

06-29-2013 – This is not the only time someone tried to kill me. It occurred three other times on the streets of South Dallas. In each circumstance the Lord protected me.

06-28-2013 – Halfway done the dark passage I hear the Lord say in my mind. “Stop.” I stop. “Draw your weapon.” I draw my weapon. “Aim to the left.” I turn and aim to the left. I can see nothing. “Turn on your flashlight.” It lights up the suspect holding a large ax over his head ready to strike. Immediate obedience saved my life.

06-27-2013 – I get out to chase him and tell my partner to drive around to the other end of the apartment complex. I jump a short fence and chase the suspect. He runs down this long narrow hallway. All of the lights have been knocked out and it is pitch black. 

06-26-2013 – The next lesson is the importance of hearing and obeying. It is early morning, perhaps 1 am. We turn the corner and see two men fighting in the street, one with a knife. My partner stops and the suspect runs. 

06-25-2013 – The object of this story is to underline the importance of fearing the Lord. If one does that, puts Him first and fears Him then nothing else in life can overwhelm you.
