Police Academy

My brother, "The Hero in the Night." Uncle Clay graduated from the Police Academy this week. It was a humbling ceremony, and made me appreciate law enforcement so much more than I have before. Our family and friends enjoyed celebrating this new milestone with him, and look forward to his career as a police officer.

Next time a cop stops you because you are driving too fast,
Remember he saved you from that day being your last.
Next time you call him a name,
Would he have called you the same?
To break up a fight, knowing later it will be worse,
And from his help, all that came was him being cursed.
To know that people don’t respect what he chose to do,
But day after day, he’s out there to protect people like me and you.
The job has no glamour, doesn’t even pay well,
He does it because he cares for more than himself.
He cares for you and he cares for me,
He’s out there hoping we will all see.
He took a path not many would take,
And he chose it for our sake.
He’s a remarkable soul, a Hero in the Night,
When all is well, he’s not in sight.
But, if you ever need him, he’ll be right there,
Not just because he’s a cop but because he cares.

We are so proud of you Uncle Clay!


























Since Anthony had the day off for my brother's graduation, we made a day of it! The boys stayed home and we were able to spend great time with Jayne Elizabeth! We took her for the first trip to the mall! Anthony stayed with her and read business finance books at the book store, and I made my way through the children's stores! We had a great day! I love my family.



















Please remember to pray for our military and police. Now that my brother will be out on the streets, you can be assured that I will cover him in prayer daily. We should all pray for those men and women that sacrifice so much, so that we can be safe.
