In Memory of Deputy John David Norsworthy

The Solid Rock

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.

I'm thinking of the Norsworthy family right now, and praying that they know the Solid Rock (Jesus!!) and are leaning on Him.

They will lay John to rest tomorrow, what a hard day for all those who knew him.
I did not know this man but I am so grateful to him for his service to our community.
My heart aches for the family.

Deputy John Norsworthy..

..He is a Sheep Dog who was injured while on duty and is in the hospital. He and his family need our prayers. But I do think that they may know the Lord as their Saviour. His sister mentions this song in a resent post on the blog about Deputy Norsworthy (Link: http://www.jd3006.blogspot.com/ you can read about it here), so I looked it up and thought I'd share it (Of course I chose an oldies version :).



You'll just have to ignore the talking, I couldn't find this version without :)

WHO???

"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."

Who wrote this... nobody knows really. Some people say it was Winston Churchill or it's from the poem "Tommy" by Rudyard Kipling, or of course there's the people who say George Orwell.

I just spent probably an hour or more trying to find the truth, I didn't find it.
So if you do know the auther... tell me!

Whoever the auther, he had it right.

"Get this and get it straight! Crime is a sucker's road and those who travel it wind up in the gutter, the prison or the grave. There's no other way, but they never learn."

Philip Marlowe



"This is the city: Los Angeles, California. I work here. I'm a cop."


"Ladies and gentlemen, the story you are about to see is true. The names have been changed to protect the innocent."


"We could've piled up a hundred years of great policemen and great detectives: men with honor and brains and guts. You tore down every best part of them. The people who read it in the papers, they're gonna overlook the fact that WE got you; that we washed our own laundry and we cleared this thing up. They're gonna overlook all the good. They'll overlook every last good cop in the country. But they'll remember YOU. Because you're a bad cop".

~Marci~

for it is a minister of God to you for good. But if you do what is evil, be afraid; for it does not bear the sword for nothing; for it is a minister of God, an avenger who brings wrath on the one who practices evil. Therefore it is necessary to be in subjection, not only because of wrath, but also for conscience' sake. Romans 13:4-5
