In time of dicey trouble, it’s reassuring to know
that there are good cops on the beat.
They wear no special uniforms. In
a sense, they are undercover cops, but carry in their deportment commitment, courage, and a certain flavor of righteousness.
They do not inhabit special buildings, but span out to our own
neighborhoods and workplaces. Sometimes for
want of a better description they are called angels. Whether they are or not, I do not know. I only know them by their works and words. They begin right away, so to speak, to put on
new coats of paint. They make a real
difference in our world, and like a new year’s day, help make for fresh starts. Unfortunately there must always be caution—some
angels answer to an evil authority. But in these cases, time (usually a short
time) reveals their true master as they work counter to our long-term best interests.
