Tragedy in Texas

A Texas Pastor was electrocuted this weekend in a baptismal.

I heard about this from Jon's Blog I just wanted to get the word out. This is the church that David Crowder, and his band call home. Many people are using this as a wake-up call for their own lives, I think it is sad how it takes such a tragedy to force us to examine our lives. So as many others are saying, i will re-iterate MAKE TODAY COUNT!

On A Side technical note, Having done some sound engineering in my life; i am very curious to hear how this technically happened. Some microphones use a 48v power source. This source is supposed to be a low amperage solution to improve sound quality. If the microphone used did in fact use this 'phantom power' source, then it should not have been enough current to cause death by electrocution (i would think the breaker on the power source would trip first). If anyone knows about this stuff better than i, feel free to inform.
