Heaven has a special place for heroes such as Deputy Taylor. In a world where evil seems to be growing exponentially, Deputy Taylor and his brothers in law enforcement stand strong and brave to protect the good. We can never thank him and his loved ones enough for his service and sacrifice, but the One who has the ultimate power to reward us with eternal life can.

I am so sorry for the family and fellow officers and friends of Deputy
sheriff Clifton Taylor. He gave his life in the line of duty to serve and protect. I hope the person who called for protection understands his or her part in the devastation caused by their behavior. That person should spend the rest of their life trying to save other first responders from suffering because of behavior like theirs.

His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, 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 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 times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
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 silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"
