A North Carolina woman read the Bible to her attacker for an hour and a half after he slashed her throat before the man apologized and left.
Lindsay Wood, 32, of Shelby, N.C., had just arrived home from Bible study on Wednesday. Wood asked her 15-year-old son to collect the trash can from the curb. During this time, Wood’s attacker walked into her home and slashed her neck.
“She told him please not to hurt her, that she loved the Lord and her son,” neighbor Faye Cooke told ABC affiliate WSOC.
Police said Wood’s son heard what was happening and hid in the backyard out of sight while Wood continued to reason with the man.
“She offered her car up, as well as money,” Rick Stafford, a captain in the Shelby Police Department told WSOC.
But the man took none of those things.
Despite her injuries, Wood opened her Bible and read to her attacker.
He listened. She even invited him to her church.
After an hour and a half, her attacker apologized and left.
Wood is in the hospital recovering from her injuries, which required 20-25 stitches and staples in her neck.
Meanwhile, police are hoping to apprehend the man, who didn’t seem to want anything more than to hurt an innocent person.
“We want him off the street,” Stafford said.
She should have shot his balls off first and then preached. Do you agree

Rumors has it that back in April, Anne Sweeney wanted all three ABC soaps to be cancelled and it was actually Brian Frons who convinced her to give General Hospital a chance (since it had the highest ratings among the ABC soaps).
With Katie Couric slated to take the 3:00pm timeslot on ABC in September 2012, the future of General Hospital is kind of compromised. However, Katie Couric will apparently be a syndicated show.
With this in mind, what do you think will happen to General Hospital?
1) Moved to the internet like AMC and OLTL
2) Cancelled outright
3) Moved to a different ABC timeslot
3) It will stay at the 3:00pm. Each ABC affiliate will decide whether it wants to air GH or Kate.

Public sector employee contracts are written by the union and rubber-stamped by Democrats — and the taxpayers only find out years later that public school teachers are allowed to get a full year’s pay for 30 days’ work over three years after they retire — as is the case in Green Bay, Wis., where one out of every 12 teachers retired this year to take advantage of the “emeritus” scam.
This is what all the commotion is about in Wisconsin. Republican Gov. Scott Walker isn’t even trying to eliminate collective bargaining for government workers’ salaries. He only wants to eliminate collective bargaining over their conditions of employment, which has led to massive inefficiencies.
Thanks to union grievance procedures, the union representing school crossing guards filed a formal complaint over a sweet old man volunteering to get the kids across the street in Wausau, Wis. Warren Eschenbach, an 86-year-old retiree, had been volunteering each morning as a crossing guard at a school near his home. But according to the union, only a highly paid government employee should be permitted to do that job.
Fifth-grader Megan Sichterman, told WAOW, an ABC affiliate, “I was really sad because all the kids really like him. He’s really nice to everybody, and I was kind of scared at the same time that we wouldn’t see him on the corner anymore.”
Even in the middle of the battle over collective bargaining rights for government unions, the snowplow operators’ union filed a grievance against Racine, Wis., to demand paid days off for snowplow operators … after a snowstorm.
After a massive storm shut down the city for two days, snowplow operators thought they deserved two paid days off on account of all the snow, like other government employees got.
The snowplowers’ union also filed a grievance against the city for hiring private plowing services to help with the snow removal. Perhaps it was that troublemaker Warren Eschenbach showing up with a snow shovel and volunteering to help clear the streets.
No government snowplow operators were laid off and plenty of them worked overtime after the blizzard — but the union thought Racine should remain immobilized by snow for a week so that government snowplow operators could get even more overtime.
In the private sector, a company that capitulated to such ludicrous union demands would go out of business

For example, in my area there has been coverage on wildfires while 3 affiliates (CBS, NBC, FOX) are doing coverage on it the ABC affiliate is not doing coverage but had an anchorman say “stay with our Facebook and Twitter pages for any information about evacuations” can the ABC affiliate get sued for not doing the breaking news coverage if people who watch the network for their local news coverage.

Hi there, on the ABC affiliate in Tampa, I keep hearing a commercial that has no dialogue, just a guitar playing. I was curious if anyone could tell me what the commercial was about. Thanks.

Like calling Jersey Shore “THE Jersey Shore” or Extreme Makeover: Home Edition “Extreme Home Makeover”.
First example: The What The Buck show on YouTube; his show is all about the latest in pop culture, yet he’ll talk about how someone from The Jersey Shore did something dumb.
Second example: The Extreme Makeover: Home Edition crew showed up where I live to make over a house, and my local ABC affiliate reported on it by saying that “Extreme Home Makeover was in town.”
