Another Reason I'm Thankful for Our Bike Patrol
So... we walked out of our pastoral/ministry staff meeting today (around 11:30) and there were at least six helicopters flying overhead, just east of the church.
Turns out there was a shooting just a block or so away from Grace. You can read about it here. You'll probably see something about it on the evening news.
So I got on Google Earth to find out just how close the 13000 block of Burton Street is (where the incident occurred), and, well, it's only about two-tenths of a mile away.

I guess there's just never a boring day in the San Fernando Valley.

I'm glad that they "pack heat". That's why you must be at least 16 years old to work bike patrol. Any younger than that is against church policy to carry a handgun. Well, I guess you could if you passed the "firearm safety" class taught by Dick Cheney. But, because of his busy schedule, they only offer it once a year. O well.
Those windbreaker jackets are also made of kevlar. Who would have guessed? Thank you Bike Patrol!
I'm glad everyone was safe!
