I recieved this from Citizen Link. It's incredibly encouraging to see our Leaders turn to God for Help. Louisiana is a wonderful state with wonderful people. This is tragic to say the least. Lets Pray with them!!
A horrific series of murders in south Louisiana is drawing the
attention of the best in law enforcement -- including a full-time
task force. Now, the state's leaders are turning to another source
for solving the crimes: literally praying for help.
The murders of five women in Louisiana have been connected to
a single killer, and there may be many more. Marsanne Golsby,
Louisiana Gov. Mike Foster's spokeswoman, said her boss
proclaimed a day of prayer to capture the killer.
"It was just a coming together of the state and the community to
ask for divine guidance to find this monster, who's murdering
these women," Golsby said.
Gene Mills, executive director of the Louisiana Family Forum,
said this is not the first time the governor has turned to the Lord
in prayer.
"When Louisiana was experiencing severe drought, he convened
and commissioned that a day be set aside for prayer and
fasting," Mills said.
Bobby Simpson, the mayor of Baton Rouge, La., said such a
community plea for God's help goes with the territory in
Louisiana.
"We're used to adversity, but we're also a people that realizes
that God can overcome all this, and we need to keep Him on our
team as much as possible," Simpson said.
