Steve McDowell Was Crystal McDowell killed by her ex-husband Steve McDowell? Absolutely, said a longtime friend in a Houston Chronicle report. “When Steve decided that if he couldn’t have her, nobody else could–He also made the decision for her children, her family and her friends,” Morgan Raimondi said even before charges were filed. “He took her away from all of us because of his one selfish act.” The Chambers County Sheriff’s Office charged Mr. McDowell Saturday for Crystal’s murder. Crystal, a realtor, disappeared August 25 after telling her boyfriend she was going to her ex’s place to pick up her children, 5- and 8-years-old.

A little security is a good thing when you're out and about in this dangerous world, but a traditional pepper spray gadget can feel old-fashioned and ineffective these days. Now there's a new self-defense product that puts more bang into your pepper spray. It's the Defender 24/7, an all-in-one camera, oscillating flash, siren and pepper spray that connects to a 24/7 alert service through a smartphone app, activates with the push of a button and is small enough to hang from a keychain. Ryan McManus, Defender's co-founder and chief marketing officer, explained the need for his product. "There's a violent crime in the United States about every 25 seconds," McManus said, a statistic confirmed by the 2010 FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting Program. "And with one in five women experiencing sexual violence while in college, personal safety is a major concern," he added. "When someone is walking alone after dark by themselves, they...

•Challenges traducers to prove he's corrupt or shut up With another electioneering season just a few months away, former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has declared that he would fight corruption like never before if he's given the opportunity to preside over the affairs of the country. Atiku, who has never hidden his desire to rule Nigeria and would most contest for the presidency in 2019, also challenged those he described as his "self-righteous political enemies" who have been accusing him of corruption to either prove the corruption allegations against him, or mind the skeletons in their own closets by keeping quiet. Atiku made the remarks yesterday at a facility tour of the new ultra-modern Yaliam Press Limited in the Jabi area of Abuja. Atiku's political adversaries have often accused him of being tainted by corruption, especially after he was associated with an ex-United States congressman, William Jefferson who was tried in that country in 2009 for corrupti...

THEME: LITTLE REQUESTS LIMIT GOD Memorise: And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1 John 3:22 Read: James 1:5-6 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: Message: The Lord Jesus Christ instructed us to ask until our joy is full (John 16:24). Due to a lack of faith in God's ability to meet our needs, many of us ask for crumbs, and by doing so, we insult or dishonour God. Are you one of such people? During one of our special programmes sometimes ago, while in my prayer room, God took me up on this issue. He reminded me of an incident that happened several years before then, when I went to London to prepare our Sunday School manual. After finishing it, I still had three days to go before my flight is due, but I...
