Timothy, even though I never met you in this life, but I can still say I pray for you and hold you and your family in my heart. It is so terrible that your life was taken because some cowards decided not to obey the law and to try and flee. From the smile on your face in the picture, I can tell you were an honorable man. I pray for god to hold you in the most gentle part of his soul. I pray for your loved ones and ask God to get them through this and strengthen them.

IN MEMORY OF POLICE OFFICER CRAIG CHANDLER

To the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Craig Chandler:

From the beginning of time after Cain killed his brother, Abel, there has been a need for law enforcement officers to protect the weak and to bring evildoers to justice. This work is necessary in a sinful world and is dangerous. In modern times, some one hundred and thirty-six police officers have sacrificed their lives to protect the citizens of the City of Baltimore, Maryland. Today, we honor the sacrifice of Police Officer Craig Chandler, of the Baltimore City, Maryland, Police Department; who was critically injured in the line-of-duty on Sunday, November 23, 2014, when he was involved in a traffic collision with a utility pole while pursuing a moped eluding arrest in Baltimore, Maryland. He succumbed to his injuries on Friday, January 9, 2015 at the medical facility he had been transported to shortly after the incident.

“Lord God, we are grateful for the life of Police Officer Craig Chandler. He died serving us. Help us never to forget. Help us celebrate the life of Police Officer Craig Chandler and honor his sacrifice. Be with the family, friends, and colleagues of this fallen hero. Comfort them and give them your strength. Guide those who seek to take care of the family of this hero. May those empowered to do so, care for them with integrity. In commemorating the death of this hero, help those who mourn to remember that death is not the end. Death does not have the final say, but is simply the transition to the glorious life to come. They should look forward to that life to come with joy and thanksgiving.

As for the citizens of the City of Baltimore, Maryland, help them to faithfully equip their law enforcement officers with the best tools to protect their community. May their training be adequate to the task. Help the citizens of the City of Baltimore, Maryland, to remember to pay their law enforcement officers fairly and treat them with respect. Help the citizens of the City of Baltimore, Maryland, to obey the law and treat each other with dignity so as not to add to the burden of crime and pain to their community.

The time for mourning will soon pass. We have now remembered and celebrated the life lost in this great tragedy. As the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer Craig Chandler go forward, they must celebrate the good things in their lives; and to celebrate life itself!

Finally, Lord God, we pray for the families, friends, and colleagues of all the law enforcement officers who have been killed in the line-of-duty and we thank you for their sacrifices. Bless the lives of their families, friends, and colleagues so they might find healing. Help their law enforcement organizations support the families of these fallen heroes. Even though their deaths might have been senseless, make something good come out of these situations so that their law enforcement organizations and the communities in which they lived and served might be stronger because of their lives and their deaths. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.”

Now, Police Officer Craig Chandler, may the Lord bless you, and keep you: the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: the Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
