I cannot remember the exact television episode or even the show, but the words are stuck in my ear. We Pray for Things Like This. This, being the ironic murder of a man in the Guinness Book of World Records Museum.
The manager at the location asked if the body could stay, or if he could at least take pictures before they moved the body. Not thrown off by the question alone, but also the sincerity of it; the detective just looked at him, in silence then continued to do his job.
We Pray for Things Like This. Yes, he clearly said these words. Didn't not take the time to pull the detective aside, or even whisper. He was not ashamed.
This statement caused my mind to run. Are we praying-discreetly, or unashamed for a come up even if it may be at the cost of bringing someone down. Although I know this is just tv, I also understand that everything we see on tv, is a reflection of true life, somewhere.
And, we continue to pray for things like this, forgetting that prayers, thoughts, and even scripts can transfer into real life.

your post reminded me of something spoken by a survivor of the rwanda genocide. she talked about how she and many other tutsis had prayed for the president's death because of his evil against them--and it was the answer to this prayer, his death that was the catalyst that started the genocide.
