I was telling Phillip the other day that my life and my family are surrounded by tragedy. That was about a week ago. Then my mom calls me up today to tell me about this:
http://blog.al.com/breaking/2009/01/man_called_911_after_shooting.html She said the woman shot was an old classmate and close friend of hers. She also said they didn't know it at the time, but they were also cousins (which tends to happen often if you come from a small town like New Hope).
So, there you go. I just wanted to share that. No need to reply with condolences as I didn't know the woman. However, If you would like to keep her family in your prayers, or meditate, or whatever way you choose to send out good thoughts, feel free to do so. As for me, I'm curious as to what triggered this man's anger so much to want to break into her home and shoot her multiple times...
