In Honor of your Sacrifice and for your family and friends, I salute you as a HERO!

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whose blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

My sincerest condolences for our Hero, Lieutenant C. Cunningham family , friends and co workers.
These are really difficult times. Many of us has lost loved one to this pandemic. I must include myself as well and as of now my baby brother in Florida has the symptoms. We are aware that these are signs of the last days. Were living in the midst of the bad prophecies but at the same time just like these prophecies must happen so are all the other good prophecies to come must happen. Please read Joshua 23:14.

For example, The Model Prayer Matthews 6:10 "Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven." We ask for a change of Kingdom or Government and the will of our LORD be done here on earth as it in heaven. So, how will life be when his will be done here on earth? What benefits will come with this new Kingdom? The Bible paint us beautiful pictures .
Please consult the following with your Bible:
* Apocalypse 21: "3. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. 4. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
Did you noticed, God will be with men and no more death. Where will all of this take place? Here on earth. For there are no men or humans living in heaven. So what other conditions can we look forward to see?
* Peaceful people and neighbors Psalms 37:11, 29; Isaias 25:8 Death will be eliminated,
* Isaias 65: 21,22 All residents as in the Lords Model Prayer thy will on Earth, we will construct our homes, plant vineyards and fruits,
* Isaias 35: 5,6 all types of sicknesses will be cured, desserts will flourish.

The most wonderful experience will be to share with our love ones that has past away. During the first century christians called this act miracle the resurrection, it was part of their faith and was taught to all disciples.

Please read what at least two of the apostles and Jesus said: Acts 24:15 (Paul), John 5:28,29(John); John 11: 20-27(Jesus and Martha Lazarus Sister). There are more prove that the resurrection will take place here on earth and will be sooner that we expect. God is never late. For more updated info please visit us at JW.org .

A police officer should be remembered not by how he died, but how he lived! A great man has gone to secure a safe path for the rest of us to follow. Thank you to you, your family and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. Our country is a little less safe without you. Rest in Peace Brother!
