Once again, Idaho in the headlines...

On Sunday, there was a shooting in the town 43 miles

south of us.  It was a Pastor.  Luckily for him, none of

the 6 gun shots were life threatening... And he will

recover.

Then on Tuesday night, word got to all of us, that

the man was caught.  And in all places.. Washington,

D.C. at the White House fence.   Throwing stuff

over the fence.

So once again, Idaho will make head lines..

How did this young man, drive

to Boise and boarded a plane to fly to Washington,

D.C.?  I bet some heads will roll in that airport. As

there was an all point bulletin out for him and his

car.   So the ball was dropped there, big time.

But the real story here, is once again.. it is a

mentally ill young man with a gun.  I don't know

if there was anything to flag this guy as a problem,

so he probably came across the gun legally.

One of the things said is, he was in the service,

but he was an airplane mechanic.. so did not see

combat.  And has been out of the service for 5 years.

So I don't see the service being a reason.. but there

is definitely a problem there.. and hopefully he

will get the help he so needs. 

And prayers for his family... The Pastor has a

whole load of people praying for him and his

family.... hopefully some of those prayers spill

over to the man's parents.. and even the

young man who is so tortured to think the

Pastor was an Martian.
