Ex-Wells man's murderer acquitted

...ba href=/schizophrenia/a/b.After the trial Rick Dodman said the family felt let down by the judicial and mental health systems.“It's about time people started putting their hands up over taking responsibility for their own actions.

Poetic justice for your enemies is not in God's plan

...ba href=/schizophrenia/a/b.And it's amazing how that kind of thinking can seep into our theology.

It's the kind of thinking that says, "If I hate the person for what he's done, surely my loving, just god will hate him as well." This kind of thinking steers off the spiritual norm and veers into a kind of theological ba href=/schizophrenia/a/b.The antidote to this theological ba href=/schizophrenia/a/b is twofold.

First, the understanding that death will happen to us all - whether we're hated or beloved, good or bad, rich or poor, spiritual or reprobate - which is the reason death is called the great equalizer and the reason Jesus pointed out that: "It's appointed unto a man to die."And for me, at least, the second half of the antidote is the scriptural claim that "it is the will of God that none should perish, but all should have eternal life."Believing God wants our enemies to share in our eternal rewards isn't an easy antidote to swallow.

And sometimes I think I'm being tested on how well I live the advice I write.This week, I got another letter from this bully lawyer threatening to sue over a minor traffic mishap I had 18 months ago.

My insurance agent keeps telling me not to worry, but I confess, I keep having unchaplain-like hopes about the lawyer's eternity.Dear Lord: I could live without these tests.

Some days, I just hate being a spiritual columnist.

Help sought to find ill woman

...ba href=/schizophrenia/a/b and is without her medication.

"We've worked everything we could," Aberdeen Detective Michael Vaccaro said.

"We checked the area where she was living two or three times with dogs and a helicopter." Edwards left the house Feb.

10 while her sister was asleep, Vaccaro said.

He said she has not accessed any money from the bank, so police have not been able to get a lead on where she might be.

Vaccaro said Edwards may have ties to the Phillipsburg and to the Philadelphia areas.

Originally from Red Bank, Edwards is 5-feet 7-inches tall and weighs 120 pounds.

She has gray hair, green eyes and fair skin.

She was last seen wearing a blue sweatshirt and gray sweatpants.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact their local police or Vaccaro at (732) 566-2054.
