Random Bullets and Serious Prayer Request

Following the lead of some of my RevGalPals, here's a bullet post Hey! I'm from Texas--we do bullets down here--not round ball thingies.

• It's a two-fer link day: Presbyweb linked one of my posts.
• VBS is going along spendidly, for the first time in the history of the church. I'm wondering if the aliens came and exchanged our kids for 'droids. Just kidding. (Not really!)
  
• This afternoon Dorothy, her teenaged daughter, and I went to one of those "private collection" clothing shows in a Houston hotel. We decided to stop in the ladies' room before going in. There, to our astonishment, we found a woman buck naked, soaping herself off by the sink. A quick glance at the floor revealed a backpack and paper sack. When we came out we wondered if we should report it to the desk, but decided that the poor lady was probably homeless and was trying to clean herself up. God bless.
• Dorothy brought me a "Put On Your Big Girl Panties and Deal With It" sign that she found on a recent trip to Dallas. I'm the envy of the RGBP, no doubt.
• Speaking of the RGBP, today I filed the papers with the Secretary of State of Texas to incorporate RevGalBlogPals. Yes, I know: Stop Me Before I Volunteer Again!
  

Here is a serious prayer request. There's been a horrific murder that has affected my neighborhood. A 16 year old girl disappeared this weekend. Her body was found in a shallow grave behind the home of one of our friends. She had been shot in the head. Today the border patrol stopped two of her classmates at the CANADIAN border in Michigan, trying to flee the country. Dorothy's son knew the two boys who were in one of his classes at the local high school all year. He knew who the girl was, but wasn't well acquainted with her. He's pretty freaked out. As are we all. Including one of our church members who is a high school teacher and had the victim in her class last year.

Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy.

Please pray for her family, friends and the family and friends of the two young men who are now in custody. They are 18 and so will be treated as adults. What a senseless tragedy.
