Bethany Well

In a day and age where the police and corruption are often depicted as being one and the same, comes an article in the NY Daily News about a group of NYPD officers who proclaim themselves for, of all things, Christ.  The article quotes different police officers discussing how they believe the ideals of mercy and compassion can actually help them to become better officers.  (Maybe the next time I get pulled over, I’ll ask for some and give this a try!)  For some reason the thought of a bunch of hard nosed, gritty, NYPD officers huddled around singing praise songs and studying the Bible doesn’t seem to fit in my head.  It’s a unique perspective to a pretty static picture in my mind and that’s almost always a good thing.
