Though I don’t follow pop culture, I remember the extensive news coverage of the murder and trial. Here’s a sobering thought: Selena’s killer will be eligible for parole next year. Do you suppose she has repented and been rehabilitated? How does one rehabilitate a narcissistic psychopath?
There is only one way to rehabilitate any of us from whatever affliction we suffer from: receiving Jesus as savior and making him Lord of our lives. Nothing is impossible for our God of unfailing love, mercy, and grace.
You’re right, of course. I pray that someone in prison ministry was able to reach through her affliction and point her to the Lord. Back when it happened in the 90s, I didn’t think to pray for the perp. God is still working on me in that regard.
This story was so tragic, as this vital young woman was gone too soon. I like knowing that the 1997 movie introduced her to another generation.
So next year Saldivar will be eligible for parole? I can't believe it has been that long since this tragedy.
Me either!
I didn't follow Selena's career but like her a lot of artists seem to disappear when their music is at its top.

I hear you, brother. I like your heart for this.
