Straight Out of the Movies

Yesterday, there was a scene straight out of the movies in West Memphis. Many of you may have seen it on the national news. I saw it this morning on Fox News' Fox and Friends show (although I knew about it yesterday shortly after it happened). A car bomb exploded almost killing a doctor who is also the chairman of the Arkansas State Medical Board. The last I heard (at least that sounds plausible) is that someone planted the devise under or around the hood of the car and did something that lured him to the front of the car and then exploded the devise. It really was a scene straight out of a movie where someone was walking to his car only to have it explode.

I have several friends in the Marion and West Memphis area who know the him and his family. Last I heard he had lost his left eye and they were hoping to save the right one. I along with many in the area have been praying for the doctor and his family. I also pray they find the person who did this!
