I do not know the Bordelon fella but the whole family in the USA came from two brothers. I will have to pray extra hard for him because I am related to him somehow, there is no doubt about that. I will also ask my dad to pray for him while I am praying for my dad. :wink:

In the end, Sheila Moore decided to witness the execution of her husband's killer – just in case, she said, he wanted to ask for forgiveness.

He didn't, and at 6:16 p.m. Thursday, Kenneth Mosley was pronounced dead, the first person executed in the state this year and the 448th since 1982, when Texas began using lethal injections.

It seems a little cynical but it seems a spate of executions were scheduled immediately after the Christmas season and Epiphany... i'm not sure if out of respect for the Holy Days or to preclude a political reaction to the death penalty in the peace of period. :?
