I spent a few hours with Bob (not his real name) yesterday. Bob is retired from law enforcement work and from California Dept. of Corrections. Yesterday, he was contemplating checking out, that is moving on from this world to whatever is next. Bob carries a lot of burdens, a sick wife, a terminally ill daughter and a bunch of grand kids that need a male figure in their life. Bob has many illnesses that plague him also. During the course of the conversation Bob reminded me what a price our police and correction officers pay for keeping us safe from the criminals who want to prey upon us. Bob talked of graphic violent things that haunted him and how some days he cannot get away from these images. Bob needs peace. A peace that passes understanding. The kinda peace that only Jesus can give you. Pray for Bob and all the people protecting us from the bad guys. Pray that God will extend his hand to them and they will accept it.
make a difference by praying today.

Training Institue
The American Red Crosshas asked us to cook a meal for them on Friday, August 25 at their regional training institue at the Red Lion Hotel. We will need 4-6 volunteers maybe more to prepare a meal for 150 + people that day. We need to clean equipment, load it and get ready to roll to the Red Lion. If you are interested, talk to me.
