We of the Ottawa Country Ministerial Alliance would like to thank our law enforcement and the OBN (Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics) for Operation Wardog in which over 70 arrest warrants were issued in Miami and the surrounding areas. As law abiding citizens, we have a right to live in a community where the streets are safe for our children to play on, without fear of drug pushers selling drugs, drug addicts breaking into our homes, and meth labs being operated in our neighborhoods.
In this day and age when children need heroes to look up to, Hollywood has been glorifying drug pushers through movies and TV shows which send the wrong message to young people that they can get rich quick and live lavish lifestyles by dealing drugs. They fail to point out that by making the wrong choices in life, they not only destroy their own futures but those of friends and loved ones that are affected by their choice to sell, manufacture or use drugs as well.
As District Attorney Eddie Wyant stated most of the drug dealers were young in their late teens and early twenties and it is sad to see that they made the wrong choices to start their lives off with a prison and felony record that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. This will affect their job opportunities and standings in communities as well. As ministers of the gospel in the Ottawa County Ministerial Alliance we pray for those who have made these choices that they learn from the mistakes and the price they will now have to pay as the consequences of their actions. We also pray for all families in our community that they become aware of the drug problems in our area and allow Operation Wardog as well as future drug sting operations to serve as a lesson to young people that crime does not pay.
These brave men and women of law enforcement who put their lives on the line on a daily basis are the real heroes for our children to look up to and admire. Let us all keep our law enforcement officers in our prayers for their safety and may God bless them for their outstanding work that they do to serve and protect us in our daily lives to make our area drug free!
