So a friend wanted to watch this show today and that was fine. It was all she had requested since she got here and she'd had a rough week, but I did not expect what was coming. This show was basically the story of Brigitte Harris. It was about this girl who murdered and castrated her dad after a lifetime of sexual abuse. So many things about this story messed with my brain today. It could be the fact that a father, a father tortured his own flesh and blood so bad that it drove her to that point. Or it could be the fact that the she felt she had to take the law into her own hands in order to receive any kind of justice. She claims that she wasn't trying to murder him but only wanted to take away the tool that he mutilated her and her sister with for so long. Talk about heartbreaking, after all that she still wanted him to live. All this made me think, if every man or woman who has experienced or is currently experiencing sexual abuse of any kind went out and murdered the culprit, how many people in this world would be dead or alive at that? It's kinda crazy to think about. But then again who are we to take things into our own hands. Revenge isn't ours. Ah! But it's crazy to think about sometimes. I just wish someone would have told Brigitte that there was another way and that one day he would "terrify no more"-A Prayer for the Overthrow of the Wicked.

Why do You stand afar off, O LORD?
          Why do You hide Yourself in times of trouble?
In pride the wicked hotly pursue the afflicted;
          Let them be caught in the plots which they have devised.
For the wicked boasts of his heart’s desire,
          And the greedy man curses and spurns the LORD.
The wicked, in the haughtiness of his countenance, does not seek Him.
          All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
His ways prosper at all times;
          Your judgments are on high, out of his sight;
          As for all his adversaries, he snorts at them.
He says to himself, “I will not be moved;
          Throughout all generations I will not be in adversity.”
His mouth is full of curses and deceit and oppression;
          Under his tongue is mischief and wickedness.
He sits in the lurking places of the villages;
          In the hiding places he kills the innocent;
          His eyes stealthily watch for the unfortunate.
He lurks in a hiding place as a lion in his lair;
          He lurks to catch the afflicted;
          He catches the afflicted when he draws him into his net.
He crouches, he bows down,
          And the unfortunate fall by his mighty ones.
He says to himself, “God has forgotten;
          He has hidden His face; He will never see it.”
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Your hand.
          Do not forget the afflicted.
Why has the wicked spurned God?
          He has said to himself, “You will not require it.”
You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand.
          The unfortunate commits himself to You;
          You have been the helper of the orphan.
Break the arm of the wicked and the evildoer,
          Seek out his wickedness until You find none.
The LORD is King forever and ever;
          Nations have perished from His land.
O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble;
          You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear
To vindicate the orphan and the oppressed,
          So that man who is of the earth will no longer cause terror.
