Rest in Peace Officer Jacai Colson. Thank You for your Service and Sacrifice.

I Pray for Peace for your Family, Friends and Co-Workers I also Pray that the hounds of hell forever gnaw at your murderers flesh. May they know torment and strife for eternity. May their tree of life be barren and they spawn no more!

I also Pray that all my brothers in blue shoot true each and every time they are attacked. For they carry not the sword in vain! God Speed, Amen!

God Keep. This is just another senseless death of an Officer whose only 'crime' was being a Police Officer who loved and was dedicated to helping those in his County. He was just a uniform and a badge to these killers. He was much more than that to us and many, many others. He was an honorable man who understood right from wrong and wanted to protect the innocents. God Bless his family and many friends and Brother Officers.

Avenue of the Fallen

Standing at attention in their class “A“uniforms, badges gleaming and shoes like glass, are your brothers and sisters of Law Enforcement. All of whom have previously paid the ultimate price.
Today, like many others, they welcome you to this wonderful place.
As you march down the Avenue of the Fallen, all eyes focus on you as if to say “it’s OK, you’re with your eternal partners.”
A salute is followed and a tear can be seen on so many faces.
Welcome, you served well.
Now come join us in the ranks, another is coming home.

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over five years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

"A Cop On The Take"
First he/she takes the Oath
Now look all He/She takes.
He/She takes it in stride when people call he/she pig
He/She takes time to talk to the children.
He/She takes your verbal abuse while giving you a ticket-
You really deserve.
He/She takes on creeps you would be afraid
To even look at.
He/She takes time away from his/her family
To keep you safe.
He/She takes your Injured children to the
Hospital.
He/She takes the graveyard shift without complaint
because it's his/ her turn.
He/She takes their life into their hands daily.
He/She takes you home when your car breaks down.
He/She takes time to explain why both your headlights
have to work.
He/She takes the job no one else wants telling you a
loved one has died.
He/She takes criminals to jail.
He/She takes in sights that would make you cry.
Sometimes,He/She cries too, but he/she takes it anyway
Because someone has too.
If he/she is lucky,he/she takes retirement.
He/She takes memories to bed each night
That you couldn't bear for one day.
Sometimes he/she takes a bullet.
They don't deserve.
And yes, occasionally he/she may take a free cup of
Coffee.
Than one day he/she pays for all he/she has
Taken,And God takes him/her home.
Now let's TAKE a moment and remember this fine Officer
In our prayers and thoughts.
RIP: Officer Colson we will never forget you.
