Another day, another sentence...

Today, my mind is rattled with pending sentences and ongoing trials...at this moment, my prayers lie in a courtroom in Michigan...a family waiting to hear the sentences of the two charged and convicted of stealing Dominick Calhoun from this world. Time slowly moves when you are waiting...the hands of the clock seem to be slagging in nonexistent mud... I pray the gavel drops and the family's suffering is lessened as the couple walk off to prison, never to see the light of day again...I pray his memories haunt the killers, their minds never able to quite function right again. I pray for true judgement.  I pray this is the day the angels sing...

I wonder how many days over the past year many of us have sat patiently waiting the words...impatiently twiddling thumbs while refreshing every few seconds... How many times have we been disappointed? Disgruntled? Amazed? Shocked? Hurt and scorn? How many times have we actually got to jump for joy over a fair and equal sentence? I mean...I can't jump for joy in any sentence where a child was murdered and someone is not getting life... but I can get on my knees and thank the Lord when an abuser, a baby killer, a rapist of our innocent...doesn't walk out free like the devil Casey did...

My thoughts are scrambled of late...my mind quite boggled at the lack of care this nation lends it's children...the lack of concern in the streets, the courtrooms and the halls... a lack of faith, a lack of care, a lack of community. Yes, I would still stand between an abuser and a child...I will still spread the word of need...I will always be the voice of those left with none...but I am tired of playing a fair game with an unfair opponent...Satan cheats, he lies, he harms and he fouls... and to be honest, I am tired of playing softball with the bastard... let's just say I have started training for a more applicable way to deal with him and the evil he sends to prey on our babies...

Stay strong...stay loud and most of all....stay true xxx
