Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Lord Jesus, as we watch America’s Peace Officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, Shot and Killed in the Line-of-Duty, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the peace officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy name, I pray. Amen.

Holy Scriptures on Law Enforcement’s Mission:

“For the policeman [peace officer] does not frighten people who are doing right; but those doing evil will always fear him. So if you don’t want to be afraid, keep the laws and you will get along well. The policeman [peace officer] is sent by God to help you. But if you are doing something wrong, of course you should be afraid, for he [the peace officer] will have you punished. He [the peace officer] is sent by God for that very purpose. Obey the laws, then, for two reasons: first, to keep from being punished, and second, just because you know you should.” [Romans 13:3-5 TLB]

[Jesus Said,] “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13 ESV]

And he [Jesus] said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” [Luke 23:43 ESV]

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]

Yesterday was the 9th anniversary of this Officer's murder. Officer Jeremy Henwood was a U.S. Marine
Veteran and after serving in the Military he the became a Police Officer with SDPD. His last act , was an act of kindness to a young boy at McDonald’s. The boy did not have enough money to buy a cookie on his own, so Officer Henwood bought it for him. He then got in his patrol car and within minutes was shot and seriously wounded while stopped at a red light. His murderer wanted to kill a cop simply because they were a cop and saw an opportunity seeing Officer Henwood at the red light. Officer Henwood was transported to Scripps Mercy Hospital where he succumbed to his wounds early the next morning. Officer Jeremy Henwood is a true Hero and should also be remembered for having a kind Heart. RIP Jeremy.

I don't know why, but I thought of Jeremy and his sister today. His sister met my daughter through Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.). I used to live in San Antonio, TX, where Jeremy is buried and used to visit his grave site at Ft. Sam Houston, along with others, from time to time. God Bless Jeremy's family and the families of all fallen first responders.

John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

Officer Henwood, I did not know you, but I don't have to. I have known enough LEOs to know that you had a heart of gold. You cared deeply for your community and you served with pride and professionalism. I grew up saying goodbye to several San Diego Police Officers during a different time period that were taken before their time too, and you are with those officers in Valhalla now. "Thank you for your service, Officer Henwood. Thank you for serving our country. You are a true hero."
