Reflections for Police Officer Lonnie Wells
"Heart Behind the Badge"
The heart behind the badge you sometimes cannot see
Hidden beneath the surface, comfort to only me
I am sworn to serve and protect but obstacles get in the way
The heart behind the badge gives me courage to face the day
Talking to an innocent child, chasing a criminal down the road
The heart behind the badge carries stories that go untold
The heart may be the passion for the job that is at hand
God shining down upon me, He's the one who's in command
Compassion to deal with victims, a strength to combat crime
The heart behind the badge is there for me each time
A spouse or significant other, a family to come home to
The heart behind the badge, what does it mean to you?

To the family, loved ones and all who knew Officer Wells and all law enforcement officers... this Officer was a person you have to be proud of like all others that put their lives on the line 24/7. A shameful act by someone who had not one ounce of value of the life which he took. A coward doing a cowardly act which leaves a void in the hearts of so many.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you always especially in the days near to try and understand why this officer and many like him have to lose their lives so senselessly.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

My heart goes out to the Family and Friends of OUR fallen officer. I had met Officer Wells before and he was a great friend to my son Miller. We are all very upset over the senseless act. He is in Gods hands now. Our prayers are with the family and with Officer Styles and his family. God please protect them and comfort them. Please be careful out there.

PO Wells , now you are in God's hands.Simply believe on Him as the one who bore your sin, died in your place, was buried, and whom God resurrected. His resurrection powerfully assures that the believer can claim everlasting life when Jesus is received as Savior.
