About the woman who spotted the Charleston church shooter's car:
Florist spots Hyundai at light, helps catch shooting suspect
http://news.yahoo.com/florist-spots-hyundai-light-helps-catch-shooting-suspect-005352310.html
...She called it a matter of "divine intervention."
...But after she looked into the car and saw the driver, she began to get increasingly nervous.
She quickly pulled off the main highway and called her friend and boss, Todd Frady, asking what to do.
..."I'm going to go ahead and tell you, I was scared," Dills said. "I told Todd, if (the suspect) gets out of this car and starts shooting, you tell my family I'm gone (to heaven). I know where I'm going."
..."Make no mistake about it, I am not the hero here God is the hero," Dills said. "People can believe that or not. He showed up here in Shelby, North Carolina."
Dills said she believes God put her in the right place at the right time.

I wonder if she wonders why God didn't intervene before the shooting, instead of after. Probably because it was God's will that 9 black people be shot to death, being that they are descendants of Ham?
I'm surprised she called her friend and boss, asking what to do. Why not pray for guidance from her real friend and boss, Jesus Christ?

No, I know. I figure people posting in A&A don't really believe this stuff.

Yeah. It's frankly sad and pathetic how people don't connect the dots on this.
