06-22-2013 – The scene was indescribable. Several card tables set up in the yard were overturned and several victims lying on the ground.  Some were wounded, some dying, some already dead.

06-20-2013 – As we approached the scene the major suspect in the shooting was leaving. We did not know that at the time. 

06-19-2013 – Seconds later the Emergency Signal goes off again! The dispatcher notifies us that shots our being fired and four other elements are assigned to the call as well as us. By now we are approaching the scene and can hear the gunfire. It is at this very moment the Lord chooses to remind me of the article that I had just finished on “The Fear of the Lord,” and how you cannot fear but one thing at a time. If you fear the Lord nothing else can frighten. I experienced an immediate sense of peace.

06-18-2013 – Half a minute later the radio emits an Emergency Signal. The dispatcher notifies us that our call is now a Code 3 which means red lights and siren. We stepped it up.

06-14-2013 – The dispatcher again calls and notifies us that several calls have been received and we need to step it up. We acknowledged the request. 

06-11-2013 – It was summer time. Four o’clock in the afternoon and my partner and I had just gone on duty. The dispatcher asked if we could take a call and we acknowledged that we could. She then gives us an address and the remarks stating there was loud arguments taking place. We started in that direction. 

06-10-2013 – I chose to work in the high crime area of South Dallas. So my first 17 years on patrol was filled with domestic violence calls, shootings, cutting, kidnappings, rapes, robberies, murders, car chases, all sorts of violent crimes.

06-08-2013 – Now to be honest I am rated a marksmen. I had never fired a perfect score before that but have several times after that experience, but never under those circumstances.  Never practically blind and in a rain storm. He cares about our emotional state.

06-07-2013 – On the way home I ask the Lord why He did that. He told me because He loved me and knew I needed the encouragement. 

06-06-2013 – Now it makes no difference if it is night or day, hot or cold, rain or snow if you were there to qualify. You had to do it. I had double vision and it started to rain. I could not see much more than a white blob, the target. When the course of fire was over I went down to the target to watch it scored. The instructor graded it and told me I had shot a perfect score!
