Murderous Memphis

Memphis is really starting to scare me.......

This
just happened, and its just another bizarre killing. There is just so much violence. Its getting out of control, folks.

There have been home invasions just about every other night in really nice neighborhoods where the victims have been tied up with zip ties while four masked and armed robbers rip their houses apart for valuables. So far, no one has been killed in those robberies, but some have been brutally assaulted.

Murder, murder, murder - every day. Something new. Just two weeks ago, they found a dismembered body in the Coldwater River, only 40 minutes from here (maybe less).

There are mindless drive-bys. Several pregnant women have been murdered. Many drug deals going bad.

I watch a lot of forensic programs on tv, and many of the stories come straight out of Memphis. I was watching The First 48 the other night, and every episode they feature two murder crimes at one time, but in two different cities. Every episode featured a crime out of Memphis.

It has become number 8 in the top 10 most dangerous cities. Compton CA is safer than Memphis if that is believable. Surprisingly, St Louis was number one worst city. I'm not sure how credible the list is though.... it says that Coral Springs FL is a safe place to live and I know that's not all that true.

Anyway, I don't go there alone, and you can see why. Statistics say that violent crime happens to every one out of a hundred people.

Kate, ever think about not living near Memphis? Does your house have a electronic security system?

Matthew 12:24 "And because of abounding lawlessness, the love of many shall become cold." Our nation is wandering about without the Light in their souls, they follow the blind into the ditch and their desires into the pit. We must have the passion to restore them back to our Father. But as Jesus foretold us, that the last days would be as the days of Noah...those were such evil days that God sent the flood to save mankind from extinction.

The strange and unique thing about America is that we are preying upon ourselves, where the rest of the world seems to prey upon diverse groups outside their own.

Love you, Sis. I believe that God's hand is upon your family always...even when the wolf comes to your sheep, God will still be in control.
