[TXnMA]

Right now, we're right in the middle of a serious manhunt.

Shortly before 8pm, we received phone messages & texts that a manhunt was underway for “an armed and dangerous fugitive” — who was last seen near the little Primitive Baptist Church (now closed) in the woods 0.6 miles from our house.

We were advised to lock up our vehicles and outbuildings , and then to “lockdown" inside our homes, and told to call 911 if we see or hear anyone unknown near our house. (There are only a half dozen homes within a mile of our house in these dense woods.)

Since then, we've been continually orbited by a very quiet and stealthy single-engine turboprop aircraft at ~800-1,000 ft altitude. No doubt they have some serious night-vision and FLIR gear onboard. I just went outside to check (armed, of course) and, now, they have even turned off their wingtip lights.

The only agencies I’d expect to have resources like that would be the Texas Rangers — or some Federal unit…

The perp was walking up to folks' doors -- armed -- and robbing them. All roads into the area are blocked off; haven't heard a vehicle for hours (creepy!) The woods are full of LEOs, and, before dark, there were several drones over our area.

I’m debating whether to go to the gun safe in our storage building to retrieve the Valmet I stored there during our recent trip to central Texas… But — I really doubt anything will happen beyond the capability of the two 9mms I have here beside me.

Interesting times…

FATHER GOD,

We stand on the PROMISES of PSLAM 91 concerning TXnMA and the neighborhood.

You who sit down in the High God’s presence,
spend the night in Shaddai’s shadow,
Say this: “God, You’re my refuge.
I trust in You and I’m safe!”
That’s right—He rescues you from hidden traps,
shields you from deadly hazards.
His huge outstretched arms protect you—
under them you’re perfectly safe;
His arms fend off all harm.
Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night,
not flying arrows in the day,
Not disease that prowls through the darkness,
not disaster that erupts at high noon.
Even though others succumb all around,
drop like flies right and left,
no harm will even graze you.
You’ll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance,
watch the wicked turn into corpses.
Yes, because God’s your refuge,
the High God your very own home,
Evil can’t get close to you,
harm can’t get through the door.
He ordered His angels
to guard you wherever you go.
If you stumble, they’ll catch you;
their job is to keep you from falling.
You’ll walk unharmed among lions and snakes,
and kick young lions and serpents from the path.

14-16 “If you’ll hold on to Me for dear life,” says God,
“I’ll get you out of any trouble.
I’ll give you the best of care
if you’ll only get to know and trust Me.
Call Me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times;
I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party.
I’ll give you a long life,
give you a long drink of salvation!”

Very interesting. I didn’t have a manhunt around me, but yesterday I was outside, and I heard what sounded like a helicopter, but I couldn’t SEE any helicopter. I stood there a while walked around a bit looking for it but never found it. Wonder if it could have been stealthified. It was a clear blue sky but I think there is the ability to light the bottom of the aircraft the same color as the sky and render it invisible, so who knows?

prayers up for your safety
prayers that they find the perp

I am not sure that I would spend my time freeping when there is a manhunt going on in my backyard.
