Today Officer Randal Simmons will be laid to rest. A crowd of 10,000 is expected to attend the funeral of this esteemed SWAT officer, husband, father, and Christian. Like most of LA, I only heard of "Officer Randy" after his sudden death in the line of duty. Though his passing certainly leaves a hole in the hearts of his family, friends, and co-workers, his life and legacy remains a positive force for good. Seeing the faces of the children he influenced on the news, I'm sure many of them will go on with the encouraging words of Officer Randy echoing in their minds.
While so many people in law enforcement succomb to bitterness and disillusionment at the human condition, Officer Simmons saw people through the eyes of God.
Lord, thank you for speaking through people like Officer Randy. Send your blessings and comfort to his family, let them know Randy is at home with you.
So Be It
