As I was g...Ron...I did a police funeral last week. As I was going to my car, with all that could be done, done, a young cop ran up to me from behind. He grabbed my elbow, turning me toward him. He thanked me for what I'd done that day, but I said I was unsure anyone was even listening. Then he said an amazing thing, I'll never forget. I'll quote him...."Chaplain, you're right. We were hurting, and none of us listened to a thing you said. But let me tell you what you did. You see, Chaplain, you talk to us with your eyes, and when we look into them, we see a man who believes what he says, and it's your confidence and faith we follow. When we are hurting, and don't know what to do, you always walk in, knowing exactly what to do....and that makes everything good for us." <br /> Then he pumped my hand, saluted me, turned and left. And I don't even know who he is. But maybe God has cop angels.
