We have a hostage situation in our area, a man with a gun holding two people in a bank. This is following a high speed chase, which itself followed robbing and tying up a family, shooting a deputy in the face, and endangering many lives. Thankfully no one has been out and out killed just yet. But the hostage situation has been going on for over three hours now. Please, please send lots of prayer and good thoughts toward central IL. We live in the cornfields, for pete's sake!
