RIP Sgt Ray Morgan #658

[Don]

Yesterday I was there when a friend was removed from life-support and succumbed to an illness that stuck him down last Thursday night. I didn`t know him that well, but he was a brother in blue and will be missed. Another brother in blue, who is a devout Catholic, believes that my friend, although a good man, was not a believer and that this could hinder his passage past the Pearly Gates and is asking for all the prayers possible to assist our brother in getting to where he belongs.

I would be grateful if you could give Ray a quick thought to help him cross over.

Sgt Ray was added in my morning prayer. The Lord has been answering many of my prayers lately.
Sounds like a great person.

Thoughts and prayers from another brother in blue. That alone should help get him across. I`m sure you`ve seen it:

The policeman stood and faced his God,
which must always come to pass.
He hopes his shoes were shining
just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, policeman.
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"

The policeman squared his shoulders and said,
"No Lord I guess I ain`t.
Because those who carry badges
can`t always be a saint.

I`ve had to work most Sundays,
and at times my talk was rough...
And sometimes I`ve been violent
because the streets are awful tough.

But I never took a penny
that wasn`t mine to keep...
Though I worked alot of overtime
when the bills just got too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,
though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I`ve wept unmanly tears.

I know I don`t deserve a place
among the people here.
They never wanted me around
except to calm there fear.

If you`ve a place for me here,
Lord, it needn`t be so grand.
I never expected or had too much,
but if you don`t... i understand."

There was silence all around the throne
where the saints had often trod,
as the policeman waited quietly
for he judgement of his God.

"Step forward now, policeman.
You`ve borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on heaven`s streets.
You`ve done your time in hell."
