I have been remiss in posting on this site. Instead, my energy has been put into my other blog called "Improving Police" on Wordpress. My spirituality has gotten some traction here with the crisis within our nation's police. I find Jesus' gospel teachings in my work on this site on which over the past four years I have written over 500 posts.

I have also been outspoken both nationally and locally about police use of deadly force in confrontations with young black men and the mentally ill months before the Ferguson tragedy. Reform is needed.

Parallel to this quest to help improve our nation's police is an awareness of how far we have fallen as a people with regard to racial reconciliation and harmony. Jesus himself prayed that we would one day "all be one as he and the Father are one." And Paul does likewise in his letter to the Galatians -- "no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free... but all one in Christ Jesus."

So you can find my spiritual activity over on the Wordpress site and you can also follow me on Twitter: @bocougar.

In the meantime, any as the prophet Amos declared, "Let justice roll on like a river and righteousness like a never-failing stream."

Peace.
