I will be remembering, and mentioning, Sgt Stell at a meeting today, which was called to rebuke me for publicly supporting blue lives, at a small liberal arts college where I work. His soul, and the consolation of my family, are in my prayers.

"Down these mean streets a man must go, who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished or afraid. He is the hero; he is everything. He must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, A Man of Honor"...A Police Officer
Sergeant Kenneth Steil was such a man.
When a man chooses to become a Police Officer, his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of duty.
GOD Bless & GOD Speed Sgt Steil

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.”
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.
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.
