Gulf oil spill: Boat captain, despondent over spill, commits suicide
“William Allen Kruse, 55, a charter boat captain recently hired by BP as a vessel of opportunity out of Gulf Shores, Ala., died Wednesday morning before 7:30 a.m. of a gunshot to the head, likely self-inflicted, authorities said. “He had been quite despondent about the oil crisis,” said Stan Vinson, coroner for Baldwin County, which includes Gulf Shores.”
Father, grant to William Allen eternal rest. Let light perpetual shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.

8 Steps Obama Should Take to Stop the Oil Spill: Undercover Nun does not approve of anyone taking on the mantle of the Antichrist. However, I am giggling at these suggestions. And I’m praying for the people and the wildlife of the Gulf, for everyone who has been touched by the oil rig explosion.
