Reflections for Police Officer Michael Daniel Crain
Officer Crain,
You have joined the ranks of those who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice. Rest well in the arms of the Lord.
To Your Family,
Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.
Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray, “Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with loving, caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name, Amen”
I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for 23 months. Feel those prayers. God is with you, He knows and will ease your pain.

LAPD's assessment and termination of the Scum Bag in their midst was a correct action. May he never see the inside of a court room as a result of his most recent actions!
May you R.I.P. Officer Crain and my deepest sympathy to your family.
