My church is small less than 100 on best days. Of that 45 are kids.
I didn't realize I had so many brothers and sisters here on this site.

Man... Cody I wish you lived close to Oklahoma City or Tulsa. I would put you to work tonight!
It is a terrible thing that we are now needed in our churches... I thought it was bad enough to have to have police in our schools. The situation is so far out of control, no matter where you go...it breaks my heart to see all the communities that were once safe, wholesome, and friendly be the way they are today. Seems drugs are at the core root of most of the trouble I encounter. That and the self worshipping it's someone else's fault syndrome most that I deal with have.
Ok enough ranting, I want to personally thank all of you volunteers who give your time and subject your own safety to protect your communities in whatever location you do so. As well as to my fellow officers who do it for a living. And Cody is right...all to often we who work security no matter what the field go unsung, and upraised. I for one however am proud and honored to stand with you fokes in protection against the forces that would harm those we watch over.
