Re: Prayers needed

Hey, has anyone seen CSI?  They routinely show dismembered people.  It's
been a favorite of my wife's because it's a crime show but one time that I
actually watched it I was so appalled and made such a fuss that my wife just
turned the channel.  I will never understand why somebody would want to
watch stuff like that.
