Protection

Protection - for obvious reasons I have been reflecting on the nature of protection. What protects us in this place? Can anything protect us in this place? Do armed guards provide protection? Do thick walls and kill cages at your door? Door 24 hour radio rooms that track your every move? Does body armour? Do armoured cars? Do weapons? Do good security protocols? Does wisdom and discernment, nouse and common sense?

Yes, all these things do but there are no guarantees. There are some types of protection that are even more necessary than physical protection perhaps; being protected from fear, despair, hopelessness and lostness.

Either way we will work for all these types of protection with the methods that are available to us. And pray...and practice, and simulate, and check in, and follow SOPs, and carry quick run bags, and carry three types of communication, and go to security meetings, and analyse trends and patterns, and avoid making patterns or setting routines, and seek to be wise and discerning and use common sense.
