Shining and lovely again.
God make me brave for life; much braver than this...
As the grass lifts, let me rise from sorrow with quiet eyes knowing thy way is wise.
God make me brave, life brings such blinding things. Help me to keep my sight, help me to see aright, that out of dark comes light.

In just 5 or 6 short months I may get the honor to wear the Trooper Uniform of the Arkansas State Police, I understand that It is a dangerous job, but It is the Job that I love.
