One of San Diego’s biggest and most beautiful attractions is Balboa Park. It has green rolling hills, the world famous SD Zoo, WWII ear restored buildings, the Old Globe theater, restaurants and a few transients sleeping under the trees. One of my detectives is an awesome woman. She is pretty, smart and tenacious. Sandy is such an incredible investigator she was awarded the District Attorney’s Investigator of the year award last week for her work in the Bird Rock Bandit case and solving the murder of a local Christian kid. While others wanted to dump the murder case, Sandy dug in and proved he was murdered.
Sandy, Jana, Katzi and Cynthia went for a post work run through the park. They are training for a ½ marathon. These girls are battle tested Criminal Intelligence and Homicide detectives. As they ran, talked and watched their surroundings, one of them noticed a man stand up in the bushes. The sun was probably setting so details were hard to see. As they detectives passed his way, thinking they were weak women on vacation from Kalamazoo, Michigan, he whipped it out. Offended but not wanting to run a good run for a pervert, they made a few snide comments and kept their pace. Some people make bad decisions and then follow them up with worse decisions. This guy is one of those people.
Pervert decided to follow the detectives while he displayed his male genitalia. It wasn’t enough to insult their womanhood. Not bad enough to demean another person by treating them in an inappropriate manner, he just had to push it too far. He tried to run after them. Yes, manhood in hand he began to chase four cops. They decided enough was enough. When they reversed direction he was shocked. His plan was interrupted. All four women, in unison pursued the anatomically and mentally deficient would be molester through the picnicking families, gawking tourist and stoned transients. It was a sight. Down the hill, through the ravine and into the men’s bathroom the indecently exposed man ran. Fleeing for his life, pride and his manhood. How does one explain to you cellmate, “I was exposing myself and got chased by four women into a bathroom?” If he had ended it there he would have had some self respect. But he compounded it with another bad decision.
Detective S used her IPhone to call dispatch. LD01 can I help you. Yeah, this is 1911 delta we need a patrol officer to respond to the bathroom in Balboa park we have an indecent exposer suspect trapped. Okay…512J is en route with a supervisor. He is coming out of the bathroom and he wants to fight…standby. (Phone gets thrown to the ground.) LD01 can hear screaming, spitting, cussing and fighting in the background. LD01 on Central Air…Beep.Beep.Beep, Cover now, cover now officers need assistance in Balboa Park. Detectives are fighting with a 314 suspect. Sirens wail in the background and officers from all over the downtown area and the Heights scream to the scene like Dale Earnhardt Jr. If a CIU detective and Homicide detectives are fighting with a suspect this has got to be good. Calmly 1911 delta picks up the phone and speaks. We are Code 4. (We are okay.) Just have a transport unit respond. An injured and humiliated weenie wager got lumped up by four pretty women. His downfall was based on some bad decisions.
I too make bad decisions. Not as bad as the Balboa Park wager, but bad non-the-less. Normally when I make my worst decisions I, self interest, is at the core of the decision making process. Not so when I have god’s best interest at heart. When I consider His Kingdom first, even if it causes me difficulty it was the right decision. The correctness of a decision is not about how much does it benefit me or make me more comfortable. The correctness of a decision is more about pleasing Him.

In Matthew 19 a rich young ruler came to Jesus proud of what he had accomplished in life. He truly was a great guy. Essentially he asked Jesus what do I have to do (name something) for me to buy (my slant) eternal life. Jesus told him to go sell it all and work for the Kingdom. The man left sad. There a couple of bad decisions: 1. He lived to please himself by building a fortune. 2. He was offered eternal life by selling some things and turned it down. We don’t know what happened to him after that. He probably lived a fulfilling, content life and then died and gave it all away anyway.
The same offer has been given to us. We can put ourselves aside and turn the control over to God by faith in the freedom given by Christ or continue down the same path.
