Idaho churchgoers have witnessed a miracle. Less than 24 hours after praying with Ted Cruz, pastor Tim Remington was shot six times in the skull, shoulder, hip, and lung. Nevertheless, he is projected to make a surprising recovery. A manhunt is underway for shooting suspect Kyle Andrew Odom.
Roger Crigger, a friend of the Remington family, could barely contain his excitement about the miraculous recovery. He posted on Facebook late Sunday evening:
Shot six times and not ONE vital hit. One of the bullets TRIED to enter the brain but stopped at the skull, one of the bullets busted his hip, one fractured his shoulder pretty bad, but he is and will continue to be ALIVE AND SERVING GOD!...Emergency room Tech's and Dr.s are calling this a miracle...He's fine! (I know that's quite the statement, but ... He's going to be fine!)
Although Remington was shot shortly after appearing publicly with Cruz, members of his Altar Church in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, speculated that he was targeted for his work on drug addiction, rather than his political views.
According to the church website, Remington became interested in street ministry when he ran a coffee house with his wife, Cindy, in San Bernardino, California. The two decided to serve "those who have problems with drugs, alcohol, and perversion." In addition to his pastoral work, Remington now serves as director of Good Samaritan Rehabilitation drug and alcohol residential facilities. He and his wife have four children, and have welcomed over 300 people to live as part of their family in their home.

The Cruz rally Saturday night drew more than 3,000 people, according to local paper The Spokesman-Review. Remington gave the invocation at the beginning of the event.
The suspected shooter, 30-year-old Kyle Andrew Odom, fled in a silver 2004 Honda Accord with the license plate K578519, according to local police. Odom has blond hair and blue eyes, is 6 feet tall, and weighs about 170 pounds. Odom was a corporal in the Marine Corps and studied biochemistry at the University of Idaho, according to his Facebook page. If he has ever posted about politics, he has kept those posts private. Police consider him armed and dangerous.
“Tim Remington was shot six times in the skull, shoulder, hip, and lung.”
He was shot 24 times?
Alleged self proclaimed Marine but we shall see
Exactly, that’s what I’m wondering. It’s not like it hasn’t happened before, in 2013, with that Floyd Lee Corkins who shot up the DC office of the Family Research Council. He bought a bunch of Chik-Fil-A sandwiches which he was going to smear all over the employees after he killed them.
Yet the left calls us the “haters”. The “gay gestapo” is the perfect description for this bunch.
Regardless of which candidate one supports, all should wish the pastor a full and speedy recovery.
[Truly miraculous.]
PSALM 91:1-3
Those who live in the shelter of the Most High
will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;
he is my God, and I trust him.
3
For he will rescue you from every trap...
His FB page said he worked for the Marine Corps. That does not make him a Marine.
What a lot of people don't understand is that the original Gestapo was gay. That the Nazi party started out as a Homosexual club, and that the party was filled with them, especially the most sadistic and cruel members.
Any idea of the motive?
Thank you for letting us know about this beautiful miracle!
Thank you dear God!
You’re quite welcome.
