Read More“Brad created an atmosphere of fear. They were obedient to the point that it was unnatural. They called him ‘Dad’— never ‘Daddy.’ Those kids were his possessions. Brad gets whatever he wants. He wanted children and he wanted boys. Those boys were like another Mercedes to him.” Rule, Ann. Dead…
Read MoreRom 3:13 “Their throat is an open grave; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of asps is under their lips.” This is one of those "where do we begin" subjects. Lying and deception are woven into the wicked person's nature. Of course we all are guilty of telling…
Read MoreI have been reading a true story crime book by Ann Rule entitled Every Breath You Take. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to understand with more clarity the evil of the psychopath.
