Not Just Your Ordinary Day...

What an action packed day at our church offices yesterday. As many of you saw on the news, a suspected armed robbery suspect was held up in a house right across from us. Once the Meridian police made our offices their command center, the place was a beehive of activity with policemen, SWAT members and negotiators. We talked with many police officers and even the chief throughout the day, and I must say, they were some amazing men and women. I guess our law enforcement community (firemen, paramedics and military too) should deserve so much credit for all they do. These are men and women who everyday put their lives on the line to make our communities a safer place. Just like yesterday, they put themselves in the line of fire, to serve and protect. I guess I want to say a huge "thank you" to all of yesterday's brave law enforcement community. They did such an amazing job in a very difficult situation. As we thanked them throughout the day for all they did, it was nice to see their smiles and appreciation. Many of them said very kind things back :) Whether it's law enforcement, firemen, paramedics or even someone in the military, show your appreciation for them and what they do. Thank them because they deserve it. You can check out this link and watch the clip of what happened yesterdayhttp://www.ktvb.com/news/Meridian-streets-shutdown-due-possible-armed-man-136833348.html
