Thank you THANK YOU for such a precious summary and tribute to Terri. She truly brought alot to our nation, and I for one HOPE we NEVER forget!!!!!!!!
Bingo!
Thank you.
Thank you ...
That is a lovely one Phil!!
When you put it that way, I think that satan had lost that battle. We, as a country, witnessed a murder. And those of us who recognize it as such, now see "the enemy" clearly now.
Thanks for bringing this to us, 8mm.
Terri is safe in God's Arms now, and can't be harmed by anyone, anymore.
Thank y'all for the beautiful tributes to Terri!
As Attorney Felos de se with Attorney Dethnell went around the back on Day 12, we suppose to communicate with Terri on a higher (or lower) plane,

With the Holy Father's passing shortly after Terri's, I and many others I suspect have "fallen short" on a proper response to Terri's death. I guess the question on a lot of our minds is what should we do now?
It's important to me that what happened to Terri doesn't happen again. It's important to me to keep fighting the good fight that the late Holy Father waged.

Some of us saw an apparent link of these two events, not sure what it is, but are looking and wondering if and what it may be.
It may hold some answers.

The enemy we faced is summarized in the New Testament:
John 8: 44 You are of your father the devil: and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning: and he stood not in the truth, because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. (DRV)
I had been thinking along the same lines - that the children of God and the children of Satan had never before been so clearly encamped and revealed. I understand now more than ever that there are those who serve their father the devil and can do no other thing until the Light of Christ shines in their hearts and they are transformed (by adoption as sons) from children of darkness into children of the Light.
We were fascinated at the opposition as well and realized engagement in debate is what they sought.
I've been thinking about this, too, that while we engage in debate on the Right to Life, on the Second Amendment, on the restoration of the judiciary and the balance of powers, on lower taxes, on immigration, on anything and everything cultural and political, the enemy is keeping us from sharing the Gospel of Life, the word of our testimony, proclaiming the blood of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. This is tragic; I'm not falling for it anymore.
And it unfolded in a pattern we could not miss, through Holy Week to Good Friday to Holy Saturday, to Easter Sunday with matching actors for all roles as if a sequel to "The Passion".
My husband, TigersEye, who is not a Believer, saw this plain as day. He's been using a unique tagline lately: "You say Barabbas, I say Jesus; let's call the whole thing off (too late now)."
Your said the masks are off now, and I agree. In the words of Francis Schaeffer, "How should we then live?"
Thank you. You have touched upon my motivation for going there in the first place. Yes, the other topics like the 2nd Amendment play a powerful role in our activity, but our faith comes first. That is what I saw in Pinellas Park with others as well.
"Terri put the lie to them all. She wanted to live and she proved it."
Thanks, and thanks to you for your own work and your blog
