Jennifer Ewing

Two days ago I got a call from a friend...one of "those" calls that kinda changes your perspective on life in general.
A mutual friend of ours, Jimmy, has been searching for his mom (and a large search party of friends and family and his dad, brother and sister). She vanished on Tuesday afternoon while bike riding in a "safe" area. They had been searching for her all through the night, to no avail. They had found her van parked right where it should be...but no mom (her name is Jenny).
On Wednesday morning her body was found. Battered. Raped. Beat to death.
This mom was a homeschooling mom of 3 grown kids. She loved the Lord with all her heart and all that she did was to serve Him. She was an avid bicyclist...riding 50 miles 4 times a week on this same trail. She was in excellent shape, especially for a 54 year old mom. She had fought back....and fought very hard. Before she died she left some obvious wounds and trauma on her attacker.

Her attacker? A 40-something year old man from Dallas, Georgia. He has been a felon since 1980 when he was convicted of armed robbery and kidnapping. Since then there has been a string of criminal activity by this man until in 1991 he was convicted of assault and rape. He then spend 10 years in prison (10 years! That's all???????) and got out in 2001. He is on 10 years probation at the moment. He is the prime suspect in the brutal killing of Jennifer Ewing.

What is this man doing on the streets???????????????????????????????????? What is wrong with the judge (a woman) that only gave him 10 years in prison after a lifetime of criminal activity and rape?

Let me say this loud and clear.....rapists, molesters, etc CANNOT BE REFORMED BACK TO CIVIL LIFE. Even if they could possibly be reformed...why take the chance? Why let them aout and see who can be good and who cannot? How many girls, ladies, boys, men have been murdered at the hands of a "reformed" predator? When is the madness going to end??

For now, my friend from long ago (high school days) and his dad, brother and sister are living a horrible nightmare. Please pray for their family...that the Lord will bring peace through the horrible storm...and they can rejoice that their wife/mom is sitting at the Savior's feet, praising Him name.
