Melinda Merritt

Melinda is a Wives in Action Leader, a speaker with Bless the Badge, and a writer with Law Enforcement Today. She is the working wife of a Texas peace officer whom she is crazy about, mother of two young and rambunctious little boys, two large fur babies, and a girl who is in love with Jesus. With no fancy title to own, she serves as a prayer warrior and greeter on the First Impressions team at her church. She has a heart for the law enforcement community, often found serving them at whatever capacity she is able, and still somehow finds time to write what God puts on her heart.
