The Legacy
November 8, 2012

One day my wife called me at work and said, “Something’s going on next door. Lots of cars are there.” Because of my neighbor’s occupation, I feared the worst, and soon those fears were realized. Our neighbor, policeman Trevor Slot, had just been killed in the line of duty, trying to stop the escape of two bank robbers. Our community was stunned.

Trevor had no time to prepare for his death. Yet he was ready. His faith in Christ was secure, and his reputation as a remarkable man was intact. At his funeral, attended by hundreds of fellow officers, his colleague Detective Brandyn Heugel said, “He was a dedicated police officer, but first and foremost he was a loving husband to Kim and a doting father to Kaitlyn and Abbie.” Indeed the theme of Trevor’s tributes all centered on his great personality and his love and care for his family.

Trevor’s life exemplified the words of Colossians 3:12-13, “Put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering, bearing with one another, and forgiving one another.” Those traits leave an inspiring legacy.

We don’t know when God will call us home, but we do know this: Each day is an opportunity to leave a testimony worthy of our faith.

Oh, may all who come behind us find us faithful;
May the fire of our devotion light their way;
May the footprints that we leave lead them to believe,
And the lives we live inspire them to obey. —Mohr

Each day we add to our legacy—good or bad.

Read: Colossians 3:8-17

Holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long-suffering. —Colossians 3:12

Bible in a Year:
Acts 1-2

Rofl...don't want any "shiney black shoes" showing up at my door!)

Good evening ES & good to see you! *Hugs*

I had F-18's flying over my place on Sat & Sun.

It was kinda freaking me out why they were overhead but sooo very cool to watch & hear! I did an internet search & I found out my little airpark started doing air shows again after a long hiatus.

Good evening Mayor & thank you for our daily bread! *Hugs*
