A sad day...

Today was going along so well then sad news came.

My sister had a friend whom she went to school with murdered this summer. Husband reported her missing the day after she supposedly left home on foot. Her body was found in a shallow grave 100 days later about a mile from home. Husband has always been the prime suspect all along but the law enforcement in our home town took their time and apparently have built a strong case against him. He will be arrested and charged for her murder tomorrow. Oh don't worry he will not run because he sits in jail in a neighboring county. That all seems like it would be pretty good news huh... to know that the family will finally have some answers and that the person who caused this young mothers death will pay for their crime. The extra sad part about this is the couples two yr old was home during all of this and apparently was witness to this. I'm afraid there may be more sad news in days to come as all the evidence the law has against him is revealed.

Tonight in the news it was reported a man in South Alabama threw his four children ages 4 months to 3 yrs over a bridge into the waters below. How sad and tragic.

Then there is the guy in Florida that pour hot grease on a 17 month old then used a hair dryer to burn his skin off because he would not stop crying and whining. They need to pour hot boiling grease on him and then burn his skin off too and dare him to cry and whine.

My mind drifts back to what my sister asked me today.... How could someone do this to
someone they loved?? How?? Why?? Why did I even bother watching the news tonight?

Such sadness today. Now its time to kiss my child good night and give thanks for the good things today and pray for those who have dealt with such sadness today.
