Life Issues
I've been following this story from my hometown.
Two young boys survived a life of horror at the hands of their own father. The third one died at the hands of his father.
If these boys walked into your church building, how would some of you preachers try to embark a healing process for these boys?
What about their father? What made him do this? Is he not in need of salvation?
Excerpt:
"Police took the graphic and disturbing images just hours after the boy was found not breathing on Nov. 4 on the floor of the family's home on West Washington Street.
It was a principal's call home that triggered the nightmare of duct tape, beatings, humiliation and burns from a hot iron that eventually ended with Tramelle's death."

Well, assuming that he doesn't get the death sentence,
there are prison ministries. Oh, and he doesn't know it yet,
but he's about to get really humble--those types aren't
exactly heroes there.

I really wish I wouldn't have read that.

Re: Life Issues
How do police officers, doctors, coroners, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judges keep from losing their minds. They see so much horror. There is no sentence, no justice for these kinds of crimes against children. It is just sickening the evil that is among us.

As a few here may say, "The boys just need to get over it. A good prayin-through at a pentecostal alter is what they need!".
Ya, it makes me sick too.

Kerry, with all due respect, why would you say Randy Wayne is wrong for what he feels? He has good reason to feel like he does.
