I read about that the other day. A girl pointing out houses where kids were raped is akin to a witchhunt. I believe most of those people were aquitted??

Don't piss off the neighbors kid.

As if our hinky meters couldn't GET any higher... here ya go: 

According to his bio, Pastor Lawless was 'saved', baptized, and married all on the same day, with his FIL doing all the ceremonies.  That was on July 9, 1960 in Wenatchee, WA.  Ok so far.. Until one looks up Wenatchee, WA and finds this:

"The town of Wenatchee, WA. made world headlines in 1994 and 1995 when police and state social workers undertook what was then called the nation's most extensive child sex-abuse investigation."

The Mayor: Talking about the city of Tracy and the community. Says that they are all grieving from the loss of Sandra. (talked more about the community than Sandra) imo

Councilman Steve Amacrombie: (sp?)

He is in tears talking about Sandra, the WHY and how do we talk to our children. Very emotional...

[Tracygirl]

Steve is a very nice man, voted for him in the last election. He has brought the DARE program to our schools. He is known to be very much an advocate for children.

  What does saved mean? Was his life on the skids, and then he found this church? And then his life became better.

Many folks believe that when a person realizes their life is on the skids, and that person turns to God, believes in Him, receives Him into their heart and life, that person has then received salvation, (saved), also referred to as being 'born again'.
God creates in that person a new heart.  Baptists believe at that point the person then is baptized, symbolic for telling the world they are a changed person, etc.  Here's a link that describes it all in more detail:

So, according to the bio, Pastor Lawless was 'saved', baptized, and married all on the same day. 

According to the Church's website ... Lane Lawless made the personal  decision to be a follower of Christ (saved) in April, 1960.  Lawless was baptized and married on July 9, 1960.

Over the years ... I have attended two wedding where a baptism of the groom occured prior to the wedding ceremony.  Considering that baptism is a public declaration/testimony of faith ... both of these grooms reasoned the timing was right as those closest to them would be in attendance at the the wedding cermony.

Mayor Ives is a nice guy, just very money driven. As I said his focus would be on the image of tracy. I love steve, very nice, nice man.

Cindy Sasser - Sandra's principal

Talks about her smile. How outgoing she was. Talked about her playing in the playhouse and how girly she was, dress up in kindergarten.

First and second grade loved to flip around on the monkey bars, very caring and nurturing.

We should all strive to be live Sandra. She was a beautiful person inside and out.

Sandra's legacy that we look out for each other and we hug one another.

Lady Police Chief - (don't recall her name)

Sandra became all of OUR little girl. A child who's spirit captivated us as we searched for her tirelessly.

Wrap our arms around Sandra's family.

In Sandra's memory. Get involved and stay involved in your children's lives. Know your neighbors and talk to your children about how bad people can be people they know.

Wrap your arms around Sandra's family.

Thanks community, volunteers, searchers, police, LE.
