A House of Hope.

In 1 Chronicles, chapter 17, we read that David is grateful for all of the things that God has done for him. In response to his love for God, David decided that he wanted to build God a permanent house. David wanted to build the temple.

If we consider the history of the position during the last 40 years, until the current tenure of Sheriff Marco Lucero, there was hardly any controversy. His immediate predecessors, Bruce Takala and William Verzino, seemed comfortable in the historical and legally settled role played by the Sheriff in Los Alamos County, namely serving certain processes and maintaining
