Bad Boys

Whatcha gonna do when we come for you?
Today I was privileged to join Officer James Capone of the Howard County Police Department on a ride along. It was a pretty quiet day. You can't tell this from the picture above, but we are parked in front of a Dunkin' Donuts.

    Dave, You are modest in your blog, you should have told them what it was like to go on a call with lights and sirens, oblivious drivers who could not move out of the way, all in an attempt to confront somebody allegedly walking through a neighborhood with a sawed off shot gun, when most sane people are eager to flee the danger, the police rush in. It's kind of like taking that first step and going to the mission field for the first time. Is anyone up for the challenge and meet Dave and his family in Iloilo this summer, when all other sane people turn to go the other way? -Jimmy

In February we were promoted as the Vice Presidents of Equipp...

Departing

Leaping off the Leadership Development post, I have some somewhat sad news. Chris and the kids will be leaving for the States this Saturday. They leave for Manila on Friday, and then fly onward to the States on Saturday, arriving in Baltimore around midnight (Maryland time) Saturday evening. Why is this sad? My responsibilities with the internship require me to say in Iloilo until the internship is completed. I will be returning to the States March 23. We have never been apart as a family for so long. Honestly I am very much not looking forward to being away from my family. I am not looking at this as a "break" from my kids so I can finally do some "real ministry." I am willing to fulfill my responsibilities here in Iloilo, especially as it involves training future full-time missionaries. However, I am not at all looking forward to being apart from my most favorite people in the world. The reason why Chris needs to leave for the States at this time is beca...
