MOORE, Oklahoma - A Moore teenager tried to turn his dad's wrong into a right. Christian Lunsford, 15, wanted to meet his father's mugging victim to try and make amends. The victim, Tona Herndon, agreed to meet the teenager on Sunday afternoon. Christian wanted to give her some cash that he recently received from his dad. But the meeting took an unexpected turn.
Tona says she is still reeling from what happened to her last month at the Bethany Cemetery. She had just buried her husband of 60 years and was visiting his gravesite, when she was mugged.

What a poignant story. Our God reigns.
Nice to have some good news for a change. God bless this young man.
First Baptist, Moore, Sacred, Holy ground. At least three times recently this church has missed direct tornado damage.
I’m glad it turned out that way. Things could have been very different. I would not want to ‘meet up’ with any relative of someone that low and desperate. Some sociopaths can be quite good actors when there a chance of getting more money. If he wanted to give her the money, I would’ve said “Fine, please send a money order to my local church or fitness center or P.O. address, they will hold it for me.” I’m glad to be wrong in this instance.
I agree. But they did meet in his church’s parking lot and there were others there as well. But yeah, I would have been a little freaked out.
So that’s why Moore sounded familiar to me. I had forgotten. Thanks.
Christian Lunsford it would seem, is very appropriately named.
Indeed.
