To my fellow fallen comrade, I bid you a salute and farewell. Officer Medlin prided himself on a good job, and those he touched were all fortunate to have known him. To his family, I shed a tear, to his fellow comrades also a tear. I can say the angels now sing with joy in Heaven,,,saying "You did a good job Darren, welcome HOME"

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Medlin family in their time of mourning. It saddens all of us when a good officer passes away.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hopes of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perserverance, perserverance, character; and character,hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.- Romans 5;1-5

My thoughts and prayers are with the friends and family of Officer Medlin as they travel this very long road. Too many of us have been there before and know the heartache that you feel.

Sr.Cpl Hunt

The policeman stood and faced God,
Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No lord, I guess I ain't,
Because those of us who carry badges
can't always be a saint."

I've had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough,
and sometimes I've been violent,
Because the streets are awfully tough.

But I never took a penny,
That wasn't mine to keep
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at time I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fear.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod.
As the policeman waited quietly,
For the judgement of his god.

"Step forward now, policeman,
You've born your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in hell

My thoughts & Prayers are with the family & the family in BLUE. It is our loss & Heaven's gain.
Isa 6:8
***********************************
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,let this blest assurance control, that Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and hath shed his own blood for my soul.

My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul.

And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, the clouds be rolled back as a scroll; the trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
even so, it is well with my soul.

(Chorus) It is well with my soul,
it is well, it is well with my soul.
