As I have done for the past several days I log onto Yahoo and type Jackson TN Troy Mitchell Murder and today prayer has been answered it seems.

A 24 year old and a 15 year old man have been arrested and charges are pending. Robbery seemed to be the motive.

I have lost people to accidents and illnesses but this is the first loss due to violence. I look at the photo of the adult and see only a wasted life. I can't even hate him though he has dealt a life long hurt to people I actually do care about beyond lipservice.

I do not know what God has in mind to bring glory or perhaps even mercy from this. But He is still good and my faith stands firm.

Pray for the families and look to your own. Children are a loan from God and returned in His time.

Good! I did look it up, and it is truly a tragedy. What idiocy, to take a human life for ROBBERY. Ew.

I'm sorry, mtpspur. What idiocy to take a human life.

If I read too much of this it will just make my blood boil. I have a hard time dealing with people who do this. I can feel my blood bubbling, so I better just leave it at that. I hope the bastards get fried.

Actually I just now remembered poor Patty whose ex-husband gunned her down in her basement in front of their children then killed himself. So there are two lost to violence and unreasoning anger. Thank you all for your notes. They are a comfort. Perilous times but I refuse to give into the darkness (except that which I find in my own heart too often) Andave will know what I mean by that but I am better now.

I'm glad to hear that they've made an arrest. I hope there is some peace in that. Love you and thinking of you! Meg
