The Case that "Captivated"

I am sure everyone has heard about the Casey Anthony trial. I did not watch it. However, I got caught up in the "hype" and watched the verdict. I could not watch a trial about a child that had been killed. I cannot even watch crime shows when it involves a child being hurt. A lot of people are angry today about the verdict. However, the judicial system has this stipulation......."Beyond a Reasonable Doubt". And that is probably what happened in this case. These days, when you have no DNA or fingerprints, your case seems to not hold up.

Instead of wasting our anger on this one verdict, why don't we honor the memory of children like Caylee and find ways to help the children who are still here. There are so many charities! Just ask your congregation. Just look around your community. I bet there are at least a few ways you can help "save" a child. It may not be a life or death issue, but by helping children, we can make a positive influence on their lives.


Here are a few to look for or help:

Volunteer with the kids at your church. Mentor the child down the street who hasn't seen his dad in years. Take some time to hang out with your own kids!

There are so many ways we can step in and save the kids still here. Instead of fuming about the past, let's change the future for the better!!!!!
