I hadn't thought about the need for a defense attorney for Terelle. You know what I was just thinking? What if one of the gang members is making Terelle "take the rap"? Could the police be that "off"? I doubt it. Grasping at straws. Just can't believe Jabbar's own brother would kill him. But then . . . those damn drugs and gang life-style. I'm going to call Mary tonight. I probably won't say much except to inquire about her health and if there's anything I can do to help. I'll tell her that you are all concerned for her and that you're praying for her and her family.

Sometimes the answer to "prayers" comes in the form of competent action. I had a home teaching family that was on the verge of divorce due to overwhelming bills and the prospect of unemployment upon exit from his job in the Navy. I called a CPA from the ward to help them organize the bills. The husband worked on crypto gear for the Navy. I located the factory for the crypto gear and it turned out that 4 active bishops worked in that shop. He interviewed with them and locked up a solid job offer. Organizing the bills and fixing the prospect of unemployent relieved the stress in the marriage. They are still doing well...and that was a vintage 1988 occurrence.

Prayers and competent support will make a difference.
