When I took the Decatur one, I got a much better idea of what it's like to be an officer and what the crime situation is in Decatur. We learned gun safety, we visited the DeKalb county jail, the Coroner's office (where we saw a video of an autopsy), got to do a ride along with an officer and learned a whole lot about how it all works. I found it fascinating. I'm a liberal politically, but am not against people owning guns if they keep them at home and in a safe place. I don't like open carry. However, in learning gun safety we learned how to shoot, and that was very interesting to me. Now when I watch crime shows I can see what is fictional and what could really take place.

Anne Koch from Sargent Hills4d ago

I did it last year. It was a very interesting program. They had people from different branches of the department come and explain to us what they do. A judge came to talk about signing on warrants; we learned how to do fingerprinting; a couple of detectives came to talk about their work on domestic violence; we visited the 911 center, ... They try to make it as interesting and interactive as they can and I think they did a really good job. The program includes a ride-along, which was also quite interesting. I would recommend it. But before you sign up, be aware that most of the sessions take place in Lithonia, where DeKalb has its police academy, and not at the Tucker Headquarters.

Too bad doesn't include an overnight stay in jail along with three balanced meals? I was in jail two and a half weeks and only one carton of milk the whole time. And I'd shared a cell with a young Muslm man who had already been there a year with another year to go! I wanna know what happened to the milk money?!

Dennis Dunn from Pangborn Ridge1d ago

Maybe you should ask the commissioners. They are the ones spending money like a drunken sailor. Maybe the stops at Starbucks or Dunk in donuts made the milk money disappear. As for your stay in jail. I have been in just about every prison in the state of Georgia and now I go into the Federal prison. I used to hear complaints all the time about conditions in the prison from the cot he or she had to sleep on to the food and their cellie. All I would say is that this place is not the Ritz and you did something to put you here. I worked with inmates and ex-offenders and helped them with employment and housing when they were released. Just so you know.

James Avery from Mason Mill1d ago

I violated a restraining order with an email. And this landed me on the felony floor. I'm curious? By any chance, did all your cellmates look, on average, rather small compared to what you were expecting the first time you went in? I was expecting to be in the mist of a bunch of big thugs? Where were all the big guys? Church???

That must have been a terrible experience. Did they offer you probation and you opted for the jail time instead. (just curious) I was shocked when I was a juror not too long ago that people can now elect to serve their time on the weekends, then get let back out for the week so they don't have to lose their jobs. You check in like a hotel on Friday after work, check back out on Sunday evening and then do the same the next weekend until you have served your time. This was for a second offense DUI, so maybe they do not do that for everyone. At least I hope not. But, still.... Talk about a revolving door justice system!

Thank Flag

James Avery from Mason MillJust now

Actually it wasn't a terrible experience, that is, having tried turning it into a positive learning experience instead. Instead, it appears to have been nothing but a waste of everyone's experience as no one is willing to hear anything I'm wanting to believe we're all able learning my experience.

If we are all to be sinners, then there should be no difference between a wise man and a fool.

So...
I will try saying this instead:

"Those with a surplus are better able controlling their circumstances. Those without a surplus are controlled by those with the surplus. One is not always able exercising good judgement."

The quote above is something I'd read somewhere with a little bit of my own wording added to it.

Now combine the above quote (modified) with the following quote (unmodified):

"This was for a second offense DUI, so maybe they do not do that for everyone. At least I hope not. But, still.... Talk about a revolving door justice system!"

And what do you be thinking we be getting?

I'm thinking the justice system beginning catching up with some of the wiser ones...maybe?

Cheryl, I'm considering it a not-so-terrible experience because I was not placed in the middle of a bunch of big thugs.

Place in the middle of a bunch of...compeers... maybe?

I wanna know what happened to the milk money?!

And I want Emory University to do a study comparing the average size of offenders/ex-offenders to the average size of church going men?!

And I ain't talking D**K size either...Cheryl!

Hebrews 6:18-19

New International Version 

(NIV)

18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,

Welcome to the 2016 Southeastern Jurisdiction Conference web site. Our 2016 Conference theme is Hope and Unity in Christ, based on Hebrews 6:18-19a. Our beautiful logo was designed for us by Kathy Williams, graphic designer in the Kentucky Conference. We pray that each person will come in a spirit of Hope, seeking Unity through our Lord Jesus Christ as we make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Our 2016 SEJ Conference will open at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 13, 2016. We will conclude our business on Friday, July 15, 2016, with the Service of Consecration for newly elected episcopal leaders. On Tuesday, July 12, the SEJ Committee on Episcopacy will offer a time when delegates can get better acquainted with persons who have been nominated for the episcopacy, beginning in Stuart Auditorium at 10:30 a.m. and continuing in the afternoon in Shackford Hall and the Children's Building.

Hebrews 6

New International Version 

(NIV)

6 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,[a] and of faith in God,2 instruction about cleansing rites,[b] the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. 3 And God permitting,we will do so.

4 It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5 who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age 6 and who have fallen[c] away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace. 7 Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. 8 But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.

9 Even though we speak like this, dear friends, we are convinced of better things in your case—the things that have to do with salvation.10 God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.11 We want each of you to show this same diligence to the very end, so that what you hope for may be fully realized. 12 We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.

The Certainty of God’s Promise

13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.”[d] 15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.

16 People swear by someone greater than themselves, and the oath confirms what is said and puts an end to all argument. 17 Because God wanted to make the unchanging nature of his purpose very clear to the heirs of what was promised, he confirmed it with an oath. 18 God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take hold of the hope set before us may be greatly encouraged. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain,20 where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.
