I heard about it on the radio...I was surprised too. I heard about it on the radio news, but it wasn't a leading story. I remember when baby Jessica fell down a well and got stuck there. The entire country watched for days until she got out. And that was an accident. She was toddling around in the yard, and down she went. This story (from a journalistic viewpoint) involved murder, a hero, school children as witnesses, a kidnapping/hostage situation, a crazy person, the FBI, and a small innocent boy. Is it because the boy wasn't murdered and there was only one boy? But that one boy is important. This was a tense situation with professional negotiators. Due to the negotiations and rescue plan, there was a lot the authorities could not say to the media. That's very tender of Max praying for the kidnapper's soul. It's not the end they wanted for him, but Ethan's life was in danger. So, l'm glad it's God's job and not mine to sort out the kidnapper's soul. <br /><br />I was aggravated most of the day at someone at work, but it's not like I had a child in danger. Let's just think happy thoughts now.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173616693453942166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188371109810549420.post-77699191459909214812013-02-04T21:51:48.083-06:002013-02-04T21:51:48.083-06:00I don't understand why more people didn't ...I don't understand why more people didn't hear about this. It's been on the news, but not all over the news like you would expect it to be. To get any updates at all, I would need to google the story. So weird! You would think it would be all over the place!<br /><br />Anyway, my kids prayed for little Ethen--especially Max and Lucy. The first thing they asked me when they got into the car when I picked them up from school was, "is that little boy still stuck in that man's house?" At which I told them yes, as I hadn't yet heard otherwise. They were so happy tonight, when i told them that little Ethen was free. They were also sad for the kidnapper. Max prayed a lot for his soul.

Regardless, this poor little boy must be set free. How much more violence must children witness?<br /><br />I will pray for him and have my kids pray too.
