What Really Happened to Carlee Russell? Press Conference Scheduled for 2:30 P.M. CST Today…

Hello World,

I don’t have as much time to ruminate on daily news as I used to, but this story did capture my attention…Have you heard of the Carlee Russell case? Below is the PEOPLE magazine summary….

Investigators are still working to figure out how and why an Alabama woman went missing for two days before reappearing on her parents’ doorstep Saturday night.

Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell disappeared after calling 911 last Thursday night, telling a dispatcher that she stopped along I-459 on her way home from work after seeing a toddler walking by himself in a diaper along the highway.

However, when police arrived on the scene, they found the 25-year-old’s car still running with her belongings inside. Carlee was nowhere to be found. A statewide search was fruitless for more than 48 hours, while news about her mysterious disappearance spread on social media until she reappeared back at her parent’s house in Hoover, Ala., on Saturday night. Read the entire article HERE.

Many people posted prayers on social media for this young woman’s safe return…

However, since this article was released, the Hoover Police Department has released more information below and will host a news conference at 2:30 p.m. CST later today…

I don’t know what to think at this point…

Any thoughts?

Pastor of Bright Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church in Louisiana Shoots His Wife & Himself in Hotel After Posting Happy Message on Facebook…

Hello World,

I’m not sure who said “Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear,” but I believe this quote is particularly applicable when it comes to social media! And I need to remind myself of this when I’m scrolling through Facebook and comparing myself unfavorably to others. Despite those who may have compared themselves unfavorably to 25-year-old Danny Prenell Jr., who is pastor of Bright Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church in Louisiana, and traveled to Mississippi alongside his wife, 27-year-old Gabrielle Prenell and their three children, he is clearly a hot mess of a man…

Various new outlets are reporting that after posting this inspirational message below, Pastor Prenell shot his wife before shooting himself…

Earlier in the month, Pastor Prenell hosted a church revival…

And in this post, he highlighted the fact that he is young to be a pastor of a church…

These posts may be very true, but obviously, they don’t reveal everything of what is going on that he didn’t post on social media. At the very hotel where he posted his last update, Hampton Inn & Suites McComb in Mississippi, is where the shooting occurred. The Prenells were taken to University of Mississippi Medical Center, but their condition has not been revealed. However, their children, who I believe were unharmed (Thank God!) are now in CPS custody. I hope their church family is lifting up the entire family in prayer because they need it.

Any thoughts?

P.S. And what is up with the husband-wife joint Facebook page? I wonder what is the rationale behind that…

Black Panther’s Letitia Wright Stars in SURROUNDED!

SURROUNDED includes one of Michael K. Williams' last roles...

Hello World,

Letitia Wright is one of my favorite stars now because of her unapologetic Christian testimony, and I try to support her in all of her entertainment endeavors. Her latest movie is SURROUNDED which is out now! See the synopsis below…

Five years after the Civil War, freedwoman and former Buffalo Soldier Moses “Mo” Washington travels west to lay claim on a gold mine- the summation of years of toil for Mo and her community. It is a mean, dangerous world for an unaccompanied Black woman in 1870 America and so Mo travels into the deep frontier disguised as a man. After her stagecoach is ambushed by a group of murderous thieves, Mo is forced to hold legendary outlaw Tommy Walsh captive while the remaining surviving passengers seek out help. What ensues is a battle of wills, blurring the line between captor and captive, as they both try to survive the harsh western landscape. Directed by Anthony Mandler and written by Andrew Pagana & Justin Thomas and Andrew Pagana, the film stars Letitia Wright, Jamie Bell, Jeffrey Donovan, with Brett Gelman and Michael K. Williams.
