   Deputy Aaron Moore had not yet completed the police academy when he deployed to Iraq in 2003. As an enlisted member of the United States Army National Guard, Deputy Moore prepared for war, but he encountered something different. He spent much of his time on foot patrol in Ramadi, a city in Central Iraq, interacting with Iraqi citizens and ensuring their safety. He saw that many were in need, and he did what he could to give them aid, even if that just meant listening. He ultimately spent 18 months in the Middle East.

     We experience life in cycles. Something is always being born, growing, and dying. Not only does our physical body experience this, but also every single part of our body has a life cycle. Our cells regenerate every seven to 10 years, we get new plasma within 48 hours and new blood within four to eight weeks when giving blood, and we have new bones every 10 years. We are naturally made to live life in seasons where everything has its appointed time. This is the reason some say that there is “no such thing as time.” These people view time as a man-made construct designed to set a universally expected “time” for everyone to accomplish the same task without taking that person’s personal genetics and ability into consideration.
