I met with a police chief from the Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association the other day and had a really nice conversation about my Police Chaplaincy Ministry. He shared some words that he looks at every day to start his day. I thought they might be inspirational to you also. Enjoy.
This is the beginning of a new day God has blessed me with to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good; for what I do today is important. I am exchanging a day of my life for it. I want it to be good in order that I will never regret the price I paid for it.
