Surprise me

Sometimes a story just won't die. I've highlighted the salient parts.

David Crowder Says Pastor Electrocuted after Prayer

WASHINGTON (AP) - A popular Christian band is mourning the loss of its pastor, who was electrocuted in front of his Texas congregation last Sunday as he prepared to perform a baptism.

The David Crowder band was on the road when it happened, but Crowder says he learned that 10 minutes before the Reverend Kyle Lake suffered the fatal shock, worshipers at University Baptist Church of Waco had said a prayer together aloud: "Surprise me, God."

He says the assistant pastor who led that prayer remarked later, "If I could just take that back." But Crowder is quick to add that they are not blaming God for the accident.

He says that the 33-year-old Lake was his best friend, and provided guidance for the band's new CD, which begins with the lyric, "Everybody wants to go to
heaven, but nobody wants to die."
