Last night I was writing, and close to midnight a very loud alarm turned on, and stayed on for at least 5 minutes. I looked outside from our locked screen iron screen door and saw police speeding down the street.
The police blocked both sides of the street. Some were using their spotlights to look into the ravine behind our house and a few police officers ran into the building. About ten minutes later they came out with their suspect.
I didn’t see the suspects face, but he was handcuffed with his arms behind his back. Before the suspect reached the police car, the arresting officer punched him very hard in his stomach and the guy fell down. After a couple minutes, the guy got back up and the officer punched him a couple more times in the stomach. They had to carry him into the police car and they sped off.
This morning the police came back to look at security video from all the neighbors from the night before. It is the culture here to have security cameras all on every side of every residence. I was impressed with their thoroughness, but disappointed in how they treated the thief.
I worked most of the day today and the kids had a great day in school. We let the kids have screen time but only in Spanish. They seemed to enjoy that. Bonnie and I made dinner and finished the TV show Mindhunter. This was my second time watching it. I’m gonna try and get her interested in True Detective next, but only the first season. Tomorrow I appear in court. I’m starting to enjoy my court appearances online.
Sadly today my favorite preacher passed away. His name is Ravi Zacharias. If you ever get the chance, look him up on YouTube. Probably the greatest expositor in the 21st century. My favorite video is his talk to an enormous group of evangelical preachers, Billy Graham asked him to give that talk. I’ll post the video down below. It’s worth a watch. Whether you believe or not. He’s a captivating, thoughtful and intelligent preacher. **
