The Amber Alert, which alerts us to child abductions, is named after a child abducted 15 years ago in Alma, Arkansas. She was abducted while playing with other children in the parking lot of a little league game. Her name is, Morgan Nick.
A composite sketch of a suspect came out depicting a man about 6 feet tall, weighing 180 pounds with a scruffy beard and salt and pepper hair. He was driving a red pickup truck. It is reported he was talking to Morgan during the game.
Where to begin with this? A stranger with nothing but his own selfishness and desire, thinking nothing but about himself, takes a child. Takes a child from her mother, family, friends, home, school, Girl Scout troop, etc.
I don’t understand this. We can talk theology, Satan, and sin as much and as long as possible but there will never be a full understanding of why people do this sort of crime. There is no excuse on earth to justify the taking of a child let alone any human being.
I talked at length with a gentlemen who said he is a Deist and that someday humanity will be enlightened to the point nothing like this will happen. All of humanity someday will act the same and be the same looking out for the betterment of each other; like a light switch will go on and the whole world will become one. To me, that sounds harder to believe than believing in God knowing we cannot ever become Him or become what this gentlemen described.
The answer is, sin, but that’s a crutch, a fall back. What this guy did in taking, stealing, forcibly removing, someone from their home is show us that humanity will never have a light go on at the same time where all work and play together with happy smiles and sunshine with colorful butterflies.
I pray he is found and I pray Morgan is fine. I pray for her mother, family, and friends that they never give up hope. I pray before people ever do something like this again they look up and cry out to God for help.
