As I read about this and watched the news, I couldn't help but feel sick. I couldn't help but wonder, "why?" Why would someone do such a thing? I just can't get around the fact that a person would murder two people and try to cover it up. I guess it is okay that I don't understand such thing, but I remain utterly confused and shocked. My hope is that authorities will soon be able to find Laurean and lock him up for good.
Especially during times like these, I am reminded about the brevity of life. So often I tend to take it for granted and not fully appreciate it. My hope is that we all take the time to thank God for such a gift (the gift of life) and also keep this family in our prayers. I cannot imagine the pain and frustration in which this family is going through. Please pray for them!
Here is an article in which I learned more about the case from:

Wow Bethany, to be completely honest this is the most interesting blog I have read since the beginning of the year. This saddens me as well and I think you're right, we need to continue to thank God for what we have. Too often we take things for granted. We do not relize how blessed we are. We have to remember that God has a plan for us and that without suffering there would be no compassion. God does everything for a reason and we just have to pray that something good will come from this tragedy. I will pray for this family and pray for justice to be served.
Things like this also just leave me in a state of shock and disgust. It is also inconceivable to me how someone could do something like this to another fellow human being. Incidents such as this make me realize how fragile a life is. Many times, we just get so wrapped up in the problems in our lives that we forget to stop thank God for our very lives. Thanks for the reminder!
Thank you for your post. Your words really prompted me to ponder life for a bit. It really is soooo shocking...i don't understand this either. It saddens me to know end.
It is unbelievable just how much sin is in our world and how much it has corrupted humanity. What scares me is that, no matter how horrid sounding some of these crimes might be, as sinners we are all capable of these crimes. Thank God for his grace and mercy!
