Ok, my second vanity, even though I had earlier promised that I would only post one. However, I felt that this was important enough to post here, where good people pray for those that really need it.
Got this e-mail from a friend this morning and I am asking you for some of that special prayer support that one only finds here.
I thank you.
"My Dear, dear Friends, I have some very sad news. My niece Sara xxx, my sister Fran's daughter, was beaten to death by her boyfriend this past Friday in Hawaii where she lived. She was also pregnant and after much testing on the fetus the doctor's determined that the baby could live outside the womb, but recommended it stay in-uterine for another 2 weeks. Sarah has been on life support since she entered the hospital and was proclaimed brain dead on Sunday. She is being kept medically alive for this gestation period. My nephew/godson Mike xxx went to Hawaii to be there with her because Fran is going through chemotherapy for ovarian cancer and couldn't travel at this time. One redeeming note, if there can be one in this situation, the man who did this to her is in jail. Also her two children weren't there when it happened.
This ordeal is so surreal. You only hear about this kind of incident happening in the news or movies not to someone in your own family. My sister is a pillar of strength and her son is truly a man among men for the way he's been there for his mother. I know you all have your own family ordeals, but I wanted to let you know about Sarah since some of you knew her and my family.
love, MJ"
Well, that's that then. G-d bless and keep the children safe, and may the unborn child live and have a happy and meaningful life.
Ping for your lists.
Thanks.

ButThreeLeftsDo, My prayers going up for Sara and her family. God's protection for Sara's unborn baby...God's comfort for her family.
Blessings,

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
Oh my goodness. May the Lord bless and keep this precious baby safe in mommy's womb. May He hold Sara's life in His hands while she gives this baby the life she needs to live outside of Sara. May He also comfort her family and two children who will never be able to make sense of why this happened. Lord hear our prayers. Amen
Oh my, what a terrible story. Prayers up for the entire family especially the baby. Lord suffer not the children.
Lord have mercy. I add my prayers for all of y'all.
Matt 18:20
Lord, let justice be done.
Prayer bump.
What a tragic story. May God bless Sara and her loved ones. May the baby realize a full and happy life.
Somebody please tell me what would cause someone to do this. I've been trying to get more info on this, but as you can imagine, my friend is beyond upset.
I get riled up, from time to time, but I cannot imagine this brand of violence.
Oops, that is your friends family.
s'ok.
There is no explanation that could make this any easier for you or for Sara's family. I know this is breaking your heart to see your friend in so much pain, and I am sorry for that. All we can do is offer up our prayers that God's hand will be upon everyone who mourns over this tragedy.
Please allow me to offer you hugs of comfort. Please know that you and Sara's family and friends will be lifted up to God's throne tonight and in the days ahead.
Please know that strangers mourn with you the loss of this young woman.
Hugs
Tracy
Prayers from TX
My guess is meth, PCP, crank, some sort of speed-type drug.
Speed makes people inhuman.
My guess, as well.
I can't find the story on the web, but eventually, I'll hear the end of the story from my friend.
It's beyond my comprehension.
