My Nephew was killed last night, please pray.....

Whether the need is great or small, there is power in prayer, especially when God's people raise their voices together.

My Nephew was killed last night, please pray.....

Post by flintknapper »

Last night, March 11, 2009…..my nephew (wife’s side) was killed when 2-3 armed men forced their way into his apartment. Charlie and his younger brother share an apartment… and both were home at the time. Charlie was shot 3 times and did not survive his wounds, his brother was unharmed.

I do not have details yet, but I expect to know more in the coming days.

Folks, do not be fooled….bad things happen in small towns too.

Your prayers for strength and comfort would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Flint.

Wow.

All I can say is this; be there for the brother make sure he gets whatever help you can provide. He's almost certainly going to be dealing with survivor's guilt for the rest of his life.

Lord Jesus You know the faith of your servants the Flintknappers.
Grant them comfort by your presence, strength from your Word, & lift their burden by the hand of your Spirit in their hearts is my prayer for them.
In Jesus Name

All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

Not much information yet. I’ve been up all night but will report back when more details are available. The article in today’s paper states there were 3 shootings last night, two of them at the apt. complex my nephews lived at (very odd).

The accounting toward the last of this article sounds like the incident involving Charlie.

Thank you all for your prayers and concerns.
