Current News Story

The news story that has caught my attention is that of Somer Thompson. This little girl was on her way home from school when Jarred Harrell allegedly took her, assaulted and murdered her. This story touched me deeply because I am a mother. As parents when we send our kids off to school we expect for them to return unharmed. What Jarred Harrell did to this Somer Thompson was horrific to say the least. To hear and see the mother, Deana Thompson pleading for her daughthers return, only to find out that Somer would not return alive, was more than any mother could bear. I could not be there for that mother in the physical, but what I did do was pray for justic in this matter. I am happy to see that this man has been captured but I wonder what made this man want to give up his freedom, by going after the freedom of a defenseless little girl. This is something I will never understand.
