So much to be thankful for.
I only see corridors filled with open doors.
God continues to make provisions for me.
Some second guess but I can't.
Witnessed too much.
Need that stamped on my chest.
This is the best gift yet.
Certainty no need to bet.
Christ's warranty is guaranteed.
Living free,
Is true freedom indeed.

One of the things that makes Detective Beckett so awesome and worthy of ruling-ness is the fact that her partner Castle found her so bad-ass that he modeled his "Nicky Heat" crime-fighter after her! Beckett makes sure her team gets down to the bottom of every case that crosses her path (even going back to the case of her mother's mysterious death).
