ONLY A MOMENT
Dear Lord, It was only a moment, but in that moment of madness our world changed. In that moment countless lives were changed. Hearts were broken, and names previously unknown are now spoken with reverence.

In only a moment the Line of Blue stretching out across our nation was broken – that hard, fast, steady line was breached.
In moments like these all citizens become a part of the Line of Blue. Momentarily we feel defenseless – but only for a moment.

In only a moment the Line of Blue re-forms, drawing a circle around us to restore our hope. Our tears dry, our broken hearts comforted, weak knees strengthened and sanity restored – the Line of Blue – our shield of protection still stands.

The moment passes, but in that moment we mourn for the life that was taken and grieve for the survivors. Remembering the sacrifice made to protect and serve.

It was only a moment – but they are gone, a sacrifice made to give us a future. We pause in our sorrow reflecting what might have been… but them we press on for, by the Grace of God, the Line of Blue still stands! Amen!

To family and friends;

God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow,
sun without rain; but He did promise strength for the day,
comfort for the tears and light for the way.

Rest in peace Deputy Coleman.

It's never a call you want to have to help with, but I was proud to do any work I could to help the dispatchers and deputies who were working this call. It was a very sad night for all of us indeed. We all lost a brother. Rest in peace sir.
