22 Families Executed in Afghanistan

Last night I began getting phone calls and text messages about this. The text message was:

From: (Number Omitted) Msg: Please pray for 22 Christian misionary (sic) families that will be executed today in Afghanistan. Please spread to others fast.

I am a skeptic and I have not been able to find any verifiable evidence that suggests that this text message is true. The “families” part seems very suspect to me as well as the specificity of the “22.” The sensational nature of the whole thing also makes me wonder.

Anybody know anything?

As most of my reader will know, I play in a band (bass and trombone) that does mainly classic rock. I love playing and it’s a fun thing to do. Every guy has that little dream that someday they will be a rock star – right?

Check this amazing story out. It’s a true story about how an credit manager from Home Depot became the lead singer for Boston.
