Read this article last night and was so moved by this woman's faith and her courage.

What a shining example!

God bless you Mrs. McGuinness. It is at times of trial that a persons true character shines through.

I printed the article off and will send it to my daughter who is recently married.

After I turned off the computer I put CSPAN on and there was Kristin Breitweisser bashing the administration, blah blah blah.......and I thought she could use a lesson from this amazing woman.

Boy, oh, boy. Does this woman ever have her act together!

No bitterness, no navel-gazing. Just moving forward, helping other people who are hurting.

She has the essence of the God's Love, to be "His Skin" in the world.

Isn't it amazing, that when we become jaded and mired in doubt, God sends His message through the most unlikely angel.

She was the first person who came to mind when I heard about the new book. What a difference between these two women. Breit Jersey Girl

Referring to themselves as the “dead wives club” and turning to Mercedes, SUVs and Cadillacs bought site unseen, and plastic surgery, they’ve sought a different solution to their pain.

Disgusting.

Cheryl's words:
“Many people have tried to speculate about what happened inside Tom’s plane that morning of 9/11. I never wanted to know all the gruesome details … I found that whenever my mind would veer off in a gruesome direction, my spirit would hit rock bottom and crash. I simply couldn’t go there. I could almost hear God saying, ‘Cheryl, don’t look that way. Look at me. This is where Tom is. I have him. He is in my arms.’”

Better than great:)

I had a charmed childhood. So did my siblings. As far as my parents the most striking thing is that none of us have even heard our parents argue. Never heard them even raise their voices at each other.

I'm not saying growing up in our family was perfect. But it was close.

What's sad is that Kristin doesn't realize she is being used by the democrats and when her usefulness is over, they will discard her just like they do all the others.

Hopefully, God will send someone to help her find the courage to move on with her life.
