This page is about the central force that is trying to lead my life, sometimes meeting undue resistance from me. A website about me and many other officers would not be complete without a section about the one person we rely on most, the unseen but very present partner on patrol with us.

I am a Christian. What that means is that I know that God took on a human form some 2000 years ago in order to offer Himself up as the payment for my violations. As a law enforcement officer, this makes perfect sense to me. God is love. But God is also justice. When a man sins he commits a crime against God's law. A penalty has to be assessed and God stated that the penalty is death. I did the crime so the penalty belongs to me to be paid. However, God stepped in and said that He would take my place. By doing so, He paid my debt and set me free. He gave me my pardon. All I have to do to receive that pardon is to accept it by believing in the One who died in my place. Now that is a God who is love.

Being a Christian does not make a person perfect. It just makes him saved. The knowledge that I have been forgiven has given me a great deal of inner peace. It is only recently that I have come to a fuller understanding of the meanings of God's love. While I have believed in Jesus for some time, I often worried about if I was living up to His expectations of me. Was I doing enough? Was I giving enough? Was He disappointed in me for something I did or did not do? Many churches I have attended reinforced these worries and doubts. Sometimes these worries have actually pulled me away from God because I figured He must be pretty upset with me because of my actions. Only recently have I understood that God's love is a gift. He has given it to me. There is no payment needed. There are no strings attached, no fine print to read. It is a gift and like any real gift it is mine to keep as long as I accept it. And once I accept it, God is not going to take it back regardless of what I do or do not do.



I am not an evangelist. I wish I could be, but it is not a gift of mine to be able to go out and encounter strangers and try to win them to Christ. I will however, be happy to discuss this with anyone who cares to e-mail me and wants to find out more about Jesus. I can only hope that maybe this page will reach someone and cause them to think about God. I believe in the Bible and take it literally as God inspired writings. And I am not going to be one to question a written document from any judge, especially the MAIN one. The Bible says that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. NO person goes to heaven, except through a belief in Him. If you haven't taken time to tell Jesus that you believe in Him, please do so now. As a law enforcement officer, I know that I may not come home from work. That is true of anyone. But at least I'm prepared if that does occur. Are you?
 
 




For those who continue to question, think about the following:

• I have an education in the biological sciences. In that education I learned a great deal about the intricate and delicate balances within the human body that must be maintained in order for the body to sustain life. What are the odds that these balances just occurred as a process of evolution, a theory that depends on having these balances mutated or changed and thereby disrupted?
• What are the odds that the mutations that occurred happened to produce all the different species of animals and plants, each mutation surviving the changes to the delicate balances that must be maintained to support life. Remember, evolution is based on a chemical, physical reaction occurring at some point and a single organism achieving life, thereafter mutating to produce all other life forms.
• If indeed we are to believe in a natural creation (no God involvement) and man has been on Earth for 2,000,000 years, why has all of recorded history and human achievement occurred in only the last 3000 to 5000 years, .025% of man's time here? What was happening the other 99.975% of the time?
• Consider todays political climate, especially in the Middle East. This is not a political argument, rather it is a religious one dating from the days of Abraham in the Old Testament.
• Consider the Bible and the prophecies made in the Old Testament. What are the odds that one man could have fulfilled all of them. One did. See above.
• Consider the prophecies (predictions) made in both the Old and New Testaments about events that would be occurring hundreds of years later. They have been and are currently being fulfilled. What are the odds that these technologically ignorant nomads could be writing about a world that could only exist with the computerization and mechanization available today without some divine guidance?
This list could go on for several pages. For now, answer these questions to yourself. Figure for yourself. Now what are the odds that Jesus just might be who He said He was. If He is and therefore what He says is true, what are the odds of your salvation if you don't accept Him into your life?
 
 









Two excellent books are currently available on this subject of God's grace. I highly recomment both. They are: "Amazing Grace" by Hal Lindsey and "In the Grip of Grace" by Max Lucado. Both are easy to read and are not theologically technical writings. They just explain what God's love is all about. Read them and see if there isn't a change in your life.
