In my childhood, I remember days where my youngest sister and I worked in the yard all day. It was hot in the middle of summer. My parents decided to give us one of the best gifts a child can ever have, a pool…

Each of us have at one time been the victim of theft. Whether it was something as simple as a missing pen, all the way to a home burglary. Thieves are everywhere. Over my years working burglary, rarely were there times where the suspect broke into an occupied home…

Earlier this last week, I received a text from someone who was sharing Christ with an unbeliever. The person said they had trouble trying to communicate the gospel because they kept questioning things…
