God bless Terri and her family.
(((fyi ping)))
Thank you for your beautiful report about your experiene at the vigil. I'm sorry we didn't meet. I spent Good Friday at hospice.
what were your thoughts or oservations while there?
beautiful -thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing your experiences, wish I could have been there. Prayers have been going out.
"Each service was held away form the media area in an effort to keep it holy..."
I like that little gem. (Although I'm sure you didn't mean it to sound the way I took it. :)
Thanks for this account.
Prayers going up continually from here as well.
Deliver her safely, Lord - if not from the death sentence, then take her victoriously home to your Loving Arms.
Thanks, Terri, for the example of perseverance in the midst of suffering.
Jesus admonished us not pray as the hypocrites "...to be seen by men...". Absolutely no high-browed pius intent in anything I have said. The media was sticking cameras evrywhere a camera could fit. It was all too common that in the midst of a prayer to feel a bump, only to open your eyes and find a camera lens inches away. During the communion service, one cameraman knelt down nearly between my friend's legs to get a close-up shot of her women's devotional Bible cover...I mean inches away! To them, it was all about their story. To the believers it was a desire to get away from the their mockery and the distractions that the camera lenses and microphones caused. It was about "be ye separate".
Thanks for your understanding through and despite my poor writing style.
woollyone, thank you from my heart for your beautiful witness and testimony. You bring tears to my eyes. Immanuel!!! "God is with us."
Thank you for the beautiful first-hand account.
Oh, no, I wasn't critcizing your writing style or anything else. I just liked the way you turned that phrase, however inadvertantly.
Outstanding! Thank you.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU FOR ALL YOU DONE REGARDING TERRI.
Your words really reached out to all of us.
He is indeed....Thank you for this report. Thank you for going!!!
Scott... Scott... Hmmm... something about that name reminds me of something... Hmmm... let me think...
By the way, this IS a great report, and I'm glad you were there, but I see no mention of our fellow conservatives taunting the police by goosestepping and using nazi salutes...
Any comments? :)
Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that this mother's child has been surrounded by the Body of Christ in her terrible ordeal. We thank You, O God, that You have given unto her Ministering Angels, both inside and outside the place of her torment. May the prayers and the praises of Your children continue to delight the heart and the ears of this wounded woman ... may the earthly sounds become the Heavenly sounds as her time draws near. Let Terri's heart be filled with the love of her family and the love of untold multitudes as she looks upon You, the Author and Finisher of her faith. To God be the glory, great things He has done in the life of this wounded lamb. In the Name of Jesus, we praise You, Amen ...
dear woollyone, thank you for being there -- i'll post more later, have just read 1/2 through your excellent detailed post. But in reading about Joshua, I just had to stop to ping my friends Shezza and tutstar to this thread...
btw, I was there late Fri night to Sat am, had a hard time putting the experience into words -- you have done very well indeed, and my experience to this halfway point is as you say.
