Celebrity pastor Joel Osteen's Houston megachurch held a special service Sunday
dedicated to healing and thanksgiving a week after a woman opened fire in one of its hallways before being gunned down by security officers.

Church leaders thanked the security staff and others who responded during the shooting and protected parishioners. Osteen invited Houston Mayor John Whitmire
and Police Chief Troy Finner to the stage and thanked them for their help after
the tragedy. Attendees gave officers and security staff a standing ovation.

Police say Genesse Moreno, 36, entered the church between Sunday services with
her 7-year-old son and began firing an AR-style rifle. Moreno did not reach the
main sanctuary and was killed after exchanging gunfire with two off-duty officers. Two people were wounded in the shooting, including Moreno's son, who
was shot in the head and remained hospitalized.

So "off-duty" and therefore just dumb luck...

...and with as much money as Osteen rakes in from the suckers, he can
afford a lot more security than schools that barely get enough money for textbooks.

"We come every Sunday, and the enemy is not going to stop us," Mast said. "Fear
is not going to have any power over us just because of a bad incident."

The "enemy".

Yeah... ...if you knew anything, you'd know that's a term for "Satan".
