When I first heard about this on the news, I thought of myself. I thought the only difference between Verduzco and myself, is Verduzco got caught.

Yesterday I responded to an invitation to an annual Bar-B-Que for retired Los Angeles Police Officers, and Fire Department personnel. While driving to Los Angeles, so that I would maximize my effectiveness, I prayed specifically for ‘timing, and logistics.’ In other words, how does one guy cover so many, without missing a soul, or duplicating
Police Officer’s Death Investigations – a Theological Perspective Warning: This article is Rated ‘R’ for graphic content, viewer discretion is advised. In law enforcement, I investigated with corpus delicti in mind. Then, as a private investigator, building a case for habious corpus. But as a theologian, what matters more, is the knowledge and faith in His
Note: The tracts were distributed ‘before and after’ the actual ceremony. All conversations were removed. On this great day of the Lord I had the privilege of evangelizing this historical Los Angeles police event. My goal was to get a Gospel tract into as many hands as possible.
