My response to little Bella’s crisis speaks for itself up thread ( #5 ) with sincere concerns for her health and well being.
To wonder how a father DOES this, with such a chronically ill baby who is reportedly destined for a short life, is not an extraordinary question on a thread about Bella.
In fact, your prickly reactions may say you have wondered the same thing. Who wouldn’t?
The injection of the political came with the claim that Santorum was not an “opportunist”, and then waxed poetic on why Rick was running for president.
Quite apart from Bella’s critical illness, to believe that Santorum is not a political opportunist I found astounding and simply said so, at #16.
I would say save the Jezebel business and the coal hearted hysterics for the delegates who will soon be placing Rick back in the home, with hopefully a job near by, for Bella’s sake as well as the country.
Meanwhile, maybe a good idea would be to drop the harrumphing and return to your prayerful thread?
God bless Bella and her family.
My apologies. That particular post from someone I respect just rubbed me the wrong way - it has been a long, difficult day here too (ain’t they all).
And that is the ONLY thing that should matter on this thread.
My entry into this thread came in response to post 12, which was pulled by the mods and restated by the poster, which called Santorum a 'jerk' and who later compared him to "the Kenyan bastard".
Inappropriate on a thread regarding the health of his daughter. There are threads all over Free Republic where people can trash Santorum to their heart's content. This shouldn't be one of them.
Blessed Lord,
we ask your loving care and protection for those who are sick
in body, mind, or spirit and who desire our prayers.
Take from them all fears and help them put their trust in you,
that they may feel your strong arms around them.
Touch them with your renewing love,
that they may know wholeness in you and glorify your name,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
AMEN.
Why Rick Santorum makes the choices he does in his own life is thankfully none of your business.
