Re: Leave Us Alone - We Work Hard for our Stuff!!

That is sad Renda. More and more I think that we are all going to have to take extra measures to protect ourselves from people who seem to exist only to prey on people. The lack of conscious and any moral guide in some people is downright scary.

Re: Leave Us Alone - We Work Hard for our Stuff!!

The young man in the article below was related to one of our faithful saints... Such a tragic waste.

Renda, I know your children feel so violated - but thank the Lord that they weren't at home when it happened! This young father was murdered in his front yard as he was getting into his vehicle to go to work. It is a nice neighborhood.


.......Smith said robbery seems to be the motive behind the homicide of 35-year-old Mike Rutledge as he prepared about 4 or 5 a.m. Wednesday to leave for the Federal Correctional Institution in .....

Sorry this happened to your son. I think the invasion is greater than the $$loss!

Drawers were rummaged through and jewelry boxes opened, but nothing of value was taken.

However, now they are scared to death. The intruders saw all the things that they do have and could come back.

How sad is it that we work hard for our paychecks to buy the things we want only to violated and frightened of low lives that are too lazy to get a job to get their own stuff.

I only see this happening more and more with our economy worsening. Lord protect us all!!!
Maybe it was some Democrats trying to redistribute the wealth.

No doubt.

Thanks everyone for your posts!

It does shake ya up a little bit when something like this happens. I'm even a bit paranoid - probably not a bad thing to be more aware!

A pit bull can be a deterrent. Does your son like dogs?
