LOL. That's okay. It's a compliment to me when one of my graphics gets mistaken for one of Billie's. ;-)

Happy Easter!

[Victoria Delsoul]

Happy Easter to you too, Billie. Post #82 is also for you.

Hi Tulip. Sorry I missed you last night.

If multitudes of Christians did that, what a transforming difference it would make in our marriages, our homes, and our churches. We could have a big influence on our hate-filled world. -Vernon Grounds

Indeed. Happy Easter, Mayor.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks.

And may God help all of us who feel anger, betrayal and sadness at why our government assisted this to happen this way, at this time.

Life isn't worth much, and history reminds us that this is the case.

I'm pro-life, so I know the feeling too well – it's a battle that we can't give up.

Never Give Up

Never give up when the hour of trial comes!
Let hand and heart be steady,
A wavering thought oft ruin has brought___
In peril be ever ready.
The conflict may be strong, like a pressing throng
Swift upon your way,
If you the headland keep, bid your hands sweep
That which binds you to-day.

Never give up when the hour of trial comes!
'Tis weakness to falter;
Let your courage be shown, as a light thrown
From off holy altar.
A bright light to gleam far down Time's stream,
That erst a pilgrim stranger
In passing along in Time's outgoing throng,
May well abide danger.

Never give up when the hour of trial comes!
Your will must be the lever:
Each trial to roll from the heart's close hold
Where it fain would linger,
And branching grow, over your shade to throw ___
A shade deep with sadness:
Ah! instead of a frown, wear ye a crown ___
The heart's inward gladness.

Never give up when a trying hour comes!
Do not a moment stay!
Out of dismal retreat let your feet beat
Fast on a higher way.
Yes, up and astir? Let the very earth whirr
As though cleft by a bird
Whose lofty ascent by swiftest wing lent
Could never be deterred!

Never give up when Trial's hour comes!
Give up? No, no never!
Where ere the victor's song whose notes prolong
Heaven's pearly gates to enter.
Each trial a step made up a holy grade
With only a step at a time,
This you are to take and with joy your way make
In___ with no more trials thine.

~Susan C. Keefe.

Your "Oopsie" is awfully cute, Amy! LOL! Thanks, Lori! Truth is though, I think some of ours are sort of hard to tell apart. You have some edges I don't have, and I have some you don't have, but there are a few we've done that don't have "those" distinguishing characteristics, and they could go either way! (I sure don't mind taking credit for one of yours!)

Judge Greer Judge Greer Mighty Executioner


Judge Greer, Judge Greer, Mighty Executioner,
What makes you tick?
Do you really have it in for the disabled and sick?
Are you truly a killer at heart or just not that smart?

Judge Greer, Judge Greer, Mighty Executioner,
What is it with you?
History will give you your due.
No one who looks at the record will say you were fair.
You went out of your way to deny Terri care.

Judge Greer, Judge Greer, Mighty Executioner,
Was it your divorce?
Maybe you torture women as a matter of course.
The poor woman who asked you for an injunction wasted her breath.
A few days later her husband stabbed her to death.

Judge Greer, Judge Greer, Mighty Executioner,
Is this all because you’re blind?
Cruelty and hatred pouring out because people haven’t been kind?
Perhaps there’s more love for a diminished Terri
than there ever was for you, scary...

Judge Greer, Judge Greer, Mighty Executioner,
Are you simply corrupt?
Surely you, Michael and George have supped.
People in America wonder what you have to gain.
Power, position and a bag of cash for all your pain?

Judge Greer, Judge Greer, Mighty Executioner,
Are you too proud to admit you made a mistake?
Afraid the whole world will realize you’re a fake?
The drums are beating now - skewer, remove, impeach
You didn’t think people would get the facts and beseech.

Judge Greer, Judge Greer, Mighty Executioner,
Are you in euthanasia’s black grip?
After all your careful planning and effort, if you can’t put Terri to death, is it a gyp?
Four times you were asked to step down,
Committed to Terri’s death you held your ground.
Judge Greer, Judge Greer, Mighty Executioner
Are you too dedicated to the law?
That one makes the world guffaw.
Informed people know you ignored law left and right.
Allowing conflicts of interest, sketchy evidence, substandard care, you forced the Schindlers to put up a fight.

Judge Greer, Judge Greer, Mighty Executioner
What makes you tick?
Do you really have it in for the disabled and sick?
Are you truly a killer at heart or just not that smart?

[Billie]

Thank you, and it's such a sweet and cute one, too. :)

[Victoria Delsoul]

Pretty good, and accurate as well.

Right now George Felos is telling us how peaceful Terri looks yet, we can't see a video of her peaceful death.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Thanks Billie.

Thank you..

Happy Easter FRiends. I am heading to Alabama in the morning to spend the day with my mom, although the day won't be what our family had planned. My mom went into the hospital tonight. She had intense pain in her shoulder and her heart was in atrial fibrulation. Docs are not sure if she had a heart attack, but did lots of tests and will know after they get the results. She will be in the hospital until at least Monday. Please join me in praying for her recovery. Blessings to you and your families. {{{{{hugs}}}}} Jen
