Well, isn´t it usual for Christians to mourn on "Good Friday"? I´m sorry, but I don´t understand that someone starts a "silliness thread" on this day - especially while we have to read that Michael Schiavo is already planning the funeral of a women he is going to kill. But that and the judicial decisions aren´t the saddest news of today - it is that a majority of Americans approve the silent death of Terri. I can´t believe it. Can you?

Just becasue there is bad stuff going on does not mean that we can't think about anything else, and that we have to be serious all the time. yes this is the day that Jesus died, but notice it is called good Friday? It is actually a day to celebrate what Jesus did for us, not a day to walk around in black and not think about anything the least bit funny.

There is always a Friday silliness thread. I cannot believe that it got this far, that is why I needed to be here and laugh for a while to keep from crying.

Laughter is said to be the best medicine. So, I am going to take my medicine and preserve my sanity.

Why should Christians mourn on Good Friday when it is the celebration of God's extravagant and overwhelming love for us? It is the rest of the year that we should mourn and weep, repent, and confess our sin. Good Friday is when God, in the ultimate act of love, died for us so that we can live eternally with him. When Jesus said "It is finished" we were saved! That is, if we accept His death on the cross for our sins. What love! What power! What passion!

If God allows Terri Schiavo to die, is that not the ultimate healing for her? Bear in mind, I am just as furious and devastated over this tragedy and judicial tyranny as you are. But is God not sovereign? Could He not change the hearts of the judges and her husband? Of course! He hardened the heart of Pharoah not to let the Israelites go so that His deliverance would seal the hearts of His people to Him forever.

We have to have an eternal vision, and know that all things work for the good of those who love God and are the called according to His purpose. Do you think that her death will be for nothing? If it is God's will that she die on this earth, this earth will never be the same. He will not let her death be for nothing. Be comforted.

Because it's Friday. That's what we do around here on Friday. Its as much a part of FR as the ABC (Anna-Britney-Coulter) Rule.

Which, if I'm gunna mention, I better follow: >:)

There are thousands of Save Terri threads, you don't have to read or post to the Silly Friday one!

And I personally would prefer you would.
