Over the past 2 months there have been 6 police officers shot and killed in the line of duty in Western Washington. Like many I've wept at the news, and been shocked when I heard that it had happened again. Earlier today a major chunk of I-5 was shut down as the body of the 6th officer, Kent Mundell, was moved from Seattle to Tacoma. Plans are underway for yet another funeral at the Tacoma Dome.
Deaths like this have happened in the past, but nothing like what has been seen recently. Clearly something has changed. In this blog post I want to suggest a reason for what has changed that has "triggered" these terrible headlines. That "sacred protection" for this most sacred profession has been lost. Local sacred protection has been lost because of loss of sacred honor at the national level. I also suggest a simple way that this problem can be addressed.
This was the second in a series of sound checks with Phil and Doug. Recorded May 1. (Delayed to May 11 for technical issues.)
This time we discussed the Jason House website, the text behind the name, the banner on the site.
There are times when the movie industry produces movies that are prophetic in various ways. For example, the original King Kong movie had a remake that was produced across one of the Bible Time folds.
The recent release of Knowing continues this tradition. This particular movie is more like a direct prophecy, which is what makes it so interesting.
This recording was also a sound check to see if Phil and Doug could keep up a conversation in this media.
