Charleston WV - An elderly Charleston woman has become something of a local legend for her unusual choice of self-defense: a trusty slingshot she carries everywhere. Neighbors say that Rosalyn Whitman, 80, is rarely seen without it tucked neatly into her purse, alongside peppermints and church bulletins. “She doesn’t need pepper spray—she’s got perfect aim with a river rock,” one amused bystander noted. Rumor has it that Rose once scared off a would-be purse snatcher with a single warning shot that pinged a stop sign two blocks away. The Charleston woman insists the slingshot is all about “preparedness and nostalgia.” “Why waste money on fancy gadgets?” she said. “This worked on squirrels, and it’ll work on hooligans too!” Local teens reportedly steer clear of her porch, fearing a surprise marble barrage. “She’s basically the Wyatt Earp of Charleston,” one remarked. "It's generally best to try and avoid her."

These Verses spoke to my heart this 🌄 morning! Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. Ps.97.12 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Psalm 100:1-5

Matthew 18:1-5 KJV [1] At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? [2] And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, [3] and said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. [5] And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
