From the above Yahoo article (click on title link):
" A convicted murderer on death row in North Carolina wrote a taunting letter to his hometown newspaper about his life of "leisure" in prison and making a mockery of the legal system. "
"Is the public aware that I am a gentleman of leisure, watching color TV in the A.C., reading, taking naps at will, eating three well balanced hot meals a day," Hembree asked in the letter. "I'm housed in a building that connects to the new 55 million dollar hospital with round the clock free medical care 24/7."
He also asks if the public knows that the chances of his "lawful murder" taking place in the next 20 years, if ever, are "very slim."
I get so frustrated when I hear about the tons of cases that seem to have really weird conviction penalties. Different states have different penalties for different types of crimes. It's not uncommon to hear about career crimminals getting off on technicalities and sometimes the laws seem to protect the crimminals rather than the victims. Because human justice is "relative" justice, it'll always be hard for us to know what is just. But God's laws are based on his sovereign judgment and is all perfect. His laws are the same today, tomorrow and always. When a crimminal gets away with a crime here on earth, he'll get his just punishment in due time, and there's no escaping God's judgements. The Bible states that even our thoughts and intentions will be judged.
The Bible states: " It's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God".
This is a Christian "world view" perspective Blog with videos, sermons and teachings from the Bible which is our hope and my faith. The focus here is to show how current world events are the reason why we need to have a greater understanding about ourselves and the world around us. The Bible once humbly studied, is a history book of God's relationship to human kind throughout the ages and human kind's purpose on the Earth.

The groundwork is being laid: The mark of the BEAST and the ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT
Over 30 years ago when I accepted Christ into my heart, I heard sensational conspiracy theories like this and was taught that the Bible predicted events like these that would take place in the future. But how much of a theory has to be fictional in order for it to be a conspiracy theory? The sad part is that Christians have been discussing a technology like this to be developed for over 30 years and we still can't put it to rest.
".......... And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." - Romans 13:11
"........He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. - Revelation 13: 16-17.

MATTHEW LOUIS CECCHI -
I remember following a case on CourtTV over 10 years ago regarding a little 9 year old boy named Matthew Louis Cecchi who was murdered in a public bathroom in Oceanside, CA. That case was perhaps one of the first cases that got me started on watching a bunch of other "reality TV" programs like "Coldcase files", "FBI Files", "America's Most Wanted", etc. I consider these to be the real "Reality shows" b/c unlike the nonsense that's on TV now, "Real World", "Basketball wives", "Mob Wives", "Real Housewives of ....", etc., they're actually true accounts.
Sadly, they're true accounts of the nasty stuff that goes on w/in our society. I've been hooked on these programs for over 10 years now and seldom do I come across repeats. Hopefully, these programs won't get people desensitized to what goes on w/in our society. I know it won't desensitize me. Every day, we find something like this in the news.
The reason why I make note of this old case now is b/c I recently found out that the murderer in this case, Brandon Wilson, a young 20 year old punk who killed little Matthew, committed suicide in his San Quentin deathrow prison cell. I then started to focus on little Matthew and felt a real heaviness w/in my heart for his family and the aunt who escorted him to the bathroom but stood outside to wait for him while this murderer slashed his throat inside the bathroom. By faith, I know that immediately little Matthew was in the presence of God. However, by committing suicide, Brandon Wilson has jumped from the frying pan, right into the fire of eternity.

The New Atheists are Not Intellectually "Bright"
William Lane Craigs opens up that can of whipass regarding "The New Atheists" today considered to be "The Brights". Yet most of the recent best sellers list of authors on this "New Atheist" movement seem to be more like what the "WWF Pro Wrestling" is to real sports. Maybe Hulk Hogan should start writing books too!
