An Eye For An Eye, But Is It The Correct Eye?

(NEWSER) – Troy Davis will die tomorrow. Georgia's pardons board today rejected a last-ditch plea for clemency for the death row inmate, despite calls from the likes of Pope Benedict, Amnesty International, and Jimmy Carter for his sentence to be commuted. The panel announced its decision after hearing hours of testimony from his supporters and prosecutors, and the AP notes that the decision leaves Davis with little chance of avoiding death by lethal injection, scheduled for 7pm tomorrow.

Davis claims that he was wrongly convicted of killing off-duty Savannah officer Mark MacPhail in 1989—calling it a case of mistaken identity—and in the hearing, his lawyers attempted to establish "substantial doubt." Three jurors from the 1991 case asked the board to grant Davis clemency, with one saying she now doubts the verdict they handed him; a Savannah woman also told the board that at a 2009 party she heard Sylvester "Redd" Coles, who was with Davis just before MacPhail was shot, say he was the killer, reports theAtlanta Journal-Constitution. Counters Mark MacPhail Jr., "Justice was finally served for my father."

Grab An Umbrella

As most of you get ready to enjoy your holiday weekend, many of us down here in the Gulf Coast are preparing for yet another tropical storm. I am not going to spend time complaining about hurricanes, tropical storms and the weather. Especially given that many people in the northeast have lost everything they worked their entire life for with Irene. But, I have to do my part and inform all of you located in the gulf and surrounding areas to Grab An Umbrella.

Grab An Umbrella? Yes. The next few days are going to be full of heavy rain and winds. Whether we get the projected 20 inches of rain or not, we still may get more than enough. We were all reminded by watching the issues in places like Patterson in New Jersey and Vermont that flooding, due to heavy rainfall, can do just as much damage as any storm. I encourage all of you to not only Grab An Umbrella, but visit your local grocery store and pick up a few snacks and supplies. Just in case the rain and wind keeps us in a little longer than expected. It is my hopes that this storm won't be as bad as projected, but who knows. Stay dry, be safe and please don't try to be a hero. Keep your eyes on the weather. No matter what the outcome, be proactive, Grab An Umbrella and perhaps a Bible too.

Hurricane Irene Is On Its Way To The US

Hurricane Irene

***This Is A Public Service Announcement***

Citizens of WoodWorkz!!! If you live on the east coast and may be in the path of the Hurricane, please heed to all the evacuation warnings and following the procedures you have been asked to in your area. I know some of you are like doubting Thomas, you have to see it to believe it. But, don't let your doubt cause you to be taken out. Don't be a statistic. We want each of you to be safe and to make sure you are able to make it through this storm. Category 1, 3 or 4, a hurricane is still very powerful with very strong winds that can rip power lines down and break windows. Take the necessary precautions people and do the right thing for once. Take heed to all warnings and threats! States are closing streets and highways as I type. So, if you want to get out without a lot of interruption, you might want to be on your way.

We pray the storm turns and no one is negatively affected. But let us all pray for the best and plan for the the worse. One Love.
