In a day and time when shopping is almost akin to therapy, we will usually find the clearance aisles loaded with products and people. There we can also see the "As Is" items-something is wrong with them, so we get them at bargain prices, take them home and fix them up. Imagine how God has taken us "As Is," full of flaws and imperfections. He has purchased us far above a bargain price, for it cost Him His only begotten Son. How immense is God's love for us that He would choose us for His own, cleanse us through and through, and transform us from "As Is" to As He Is." So if we ever feel like anything less, we can call to mind what God has fixed us up to be in Christ Jesus-a pearl of great price-for now we are the children of God.

About Me & My Family
- Dale
- I have been blessed with a beautiful family, great place to live and a new adventure after nearly 30 years in law enforcemnt. I have the exciting responsibility of investigating the terrorist that finance, make and place IEDs. I WaS embedded with the US Army 1st Division (The Big Red One), 2 HBCT, 1/63 CAB. I spent 17 months with these outstanding Americans, 12 of those deployed to Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The toughest part of the job was leaving behind my wife, & my best friend of nearly 30 years Nancy, my then 15 year old son Evan, and my then 10 year old daughter Emily. I began this chapter in my life on May 4, 2008. I finally returned home, having completed my tour of duty, on September 28, 2009. After two months off I returned to my position. Only this time it was a mere 270 miles away in Northern VA. A far cry from the desert of Iraq some 7,000 miles from the coast of North Carolina.
