Day 318

I am grateful for police officers.

They protect us from criminals and are our first line of defense against illegal activity. Often the first responders to serious accidents and dangerous events, they put their lives on the line in an effort of justice to keep the good guys safe and the bad guys off the streets. It is the fifth most stressful job of 2012 according to CareerCast.

The dad of a young friend of mine was an undercover policeman for years. After the 911 attack, the FBI recruited him because of his expertise in gang warfare. He told Kev that if we really knew what goes on out there, we would never leave home. That statement alone made me thankful for the brave people who go into this kind of work with their eyes wide open.

Thank You, Lord, for law enforcement officers.
