Chris wrote: “OK. What are the essential spiritual functions of a public safety officer? How do you define that? I can’t come hear you speak so I am going to need it via this weblog!” The origin of “essential spiritual functions” comes from my work with [...] A couple of weeks ago we turned on the “comments” option at the bottom of the posts. For those of us that are learning as we go in the weblogging world, (what you are reading is actually is a weblog, aka “blog” for those of you that didn’t know) we have to learn about [...] Yesterday morning I had the opportunity to tell the story of Public Safety Ministries and the concept of Spiritual Fitness with the Eden Prairie A.M. Rotary Club. I’ve shared stories with the group a few time in the past and I always enjoy the opportunity to get together with this wonderful service oranization. After [...] Today I write this post on new technology. Literally, ON new technology. I just purchased a new computer and decided to venture into a foreign land. I bought a Mac Powerbook.

In fact, I think it [...] Did you hear the one about the Retired Catholic Priest , the Protestant Police Captain, the Agnostic Jew Fire Chief and the Retired Police Chief pursuing Lutheran Ministry who spend the weekend on an island on Lake Vermilion?

Here’s a little historical perspective: 1998: “Is Honesty Always the Best Policy?” A record year, the 1998 Think-Off received over 820 essays, and the final debate was broadcast live on C-SPAN. As the country grappled with [...] I think it is time that I open the “comments” function of these website postings. Now that I am “retired” from my day job, I have more time to commit to working on this site. So from now on I am going to set “comments on ” as the default. So feel free to comment on [...] Last night I had the opportunity to share some thoughts and ideas with a group of law enforcement leaders. Normally when I refer to leaders people assume I am talking about supervisors and command level personnel.
