On a chilly night in Grapevine, Texas, last week Reverend Ed Young and wife Lisa fired up the webcam and got under the covers on top of their Fellowship Church to promote “bring[ing] God back into the bed,” by having sex seven days straight. [Spoiler alert: They didn't have sex that night.]

The 24-hour "bed-in" was set up to "challenge our church to do [the same]," says Lisa, because "sex is not X-rated, it's God-created."

Pastors and other married couples joined the Young's bed-in via Skype and the pastor's four kids also joined them in bed for a bit that afternoon. "It's pretty cool actually," said their teenage daughter, who went on to urge fellow teens to "save yourselves" for marriage.

SAN ANTONIO — Before Monday, Ramie Grimmer’s Facebook page read like that of any other 12 year old girl with numerous friends, discussions about skateboarding, text messaging and “my annoying little brother.”

But about two hours after her mother had taken Ramie and her brother Timothy Grimmer, 10, and a human services worker hostage at a state office in Laredo, Texas, she posted the words, ‘may die 2day,’ police said on Wednesday.

The standoff ended late on Monday with Rachelle Grimmer shooting Ramie and Timothy once each in the head and then killing herself, police said.

Ramie and Timothy were flown to a San Antonio hospital in extremely critical condition after the shooting. Later Ramie died, while Timothy remains in critical condition on Thursday.
