MARCH the 6th 2010 A.D. WHO SAYS CHRISTIANS ARE WHIMPS??? ...and it takes guts, selflessness, and courage to help someone who's being stabbed. <snip> Pastor, Wife, Take Wrong Turn, Save Woman's Life EAST POINT, Ga. -- A wrong turn onto Norman Berry Drive at about 10:30 Monday night -- a wrong turn -- sent the driver, Howard Brown, straight into what he said seemed like a vision of hell. He and the others in his van were seeing a man dragging a woman into the middle of the street, stabbing her. She was screaming, "Somebody, help me!" "They looked [at first] like they were dancing in the street," Howard said, and he almost had to swerve his van to avoid striking them. Howard Brown is the youth pastor at The Village Church in Hapeville. He and his wife, Paige, their daughter Caitlyn, and two other young people had just left a church program and were looking for a late night snack when they found "hell." "I rolled down my window," Paige said, "and she yelled out, 'Help me!'" "And as we began to stop, my wife said, 'Oh my gosh, he's stabbing her.'" It was at that precise moment, as Howard and Paige Brown remember it, when time stopped. Instantly, as if instinctively, they exploded out of their van. Paige jumped out, onto the asphalt, while the van was still moving. "Before he even put the car in park," Paige said, "I just jumped out. And pushed the guy off of her." "She jumps out of the vehicle and chases over to the guy and throws the guy off the lady," Howard said. Did she not think the man might lunge his knife at her? She didn't answer the question. "She asked for help," she needed help, is all Paige would say. Paige pushed the man off of the woman. But what the man did next still haunts them. "As she throws the guy off the lady," Howard said, "the guy gets back up and he says, this girl -- well, he uses another word -- is gonna die tonight." Howard said that before he and Paige could react, "He stabbed two more times to the lady.... I'd just seen a man stare me in the eyes and say that a lady's gonna die tonight, and he stabbed the lady two times. And I went blank and I just knew that I had to get this guy and that justice was going to be served." The man took off. Howard chased him around the corner. The man dropped his knife and threw himself over a chain link fence. Howard caught up to him and "I went over [the fence] with him and held him until the police could come." The others back at the van had already called 911. The woman was bleeding as she was stretched out in the middle of a very dark and busy Norman Berry Drive, in front of the entrance to the Norman Berry Village Apartments. One of the young people in the van, Casey Buice, an 11th grader at Jonesboro High School, is trained in advanced first aid and CPR. Casey found some paper napkins and began compressing the woman's wounds, trying to stop her bleeding. She was still breathing but would soon lose consciousness, and Casey's friend, Reilly Pilgrim, prepared to help with CPR just as the ambulance arrived. The woman's name is Brenda Rice. She had just visited her ill, elderly mother at the apartments when the man attacked her. It turns out that Brenda and the man used to date. The man police arrested is 46 year old Joseph Amos Williams. Police charged Williams with aggravated assault and aggravated battery. According to Brenda Rice's adult son, Isaac Rice, Williams had recently been "stalking" her. Brenda Rice has not yet been able to talk about what happened. Isaac said she remains in critical condition at Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta. Howard and Paige and the others went to the emergency room with Brenda that night. That's where they and Isaac met for the first time. "They actually took time to stop and intervene in a situation where they could have easily just kept on going," Isaac said. "But they chose to stop, and help out my mom. And for that, Man, I'm forever grateful for that." Casey Buice said he is still thinking about what might have happened if Howard had not taken that wrong turn. "Howard's yelling, 'which way do I turn, which way do I turn,'" Casey recalled. "He didn't know. And we just turned down that street." A random twist of fate? Casey doesn't believe it. "It was really by the grace of God that we found her," he said. "It was God that save her that night. We just had a hand in it. It wasn't a wrong turn. It was truly from God." "It just happened to be the right turn at the right time," Isaac Rice said. "When I look back on it, it's scary," Paige said. "I'd do it again." She paused. "I'd do it again." "I just believe that the world's never going to change if we as citizens don't step up and try to help make a change," Howard said. "It's wild. It's amazing that God sends you on wrong turns sometimes for the right reason. And we're just glad that we were able to help someone's life." </snip> HOW TO HELP HAITI CLICK HERE TO MAKE A DONATION TO WORLDVISION FOR HAITI Please Designate Your Gift to “Haiti Earthquake” PRAY FOR...
