I lurked on FR for several years before I ever posted. I didn't think I'd be able to stand up under the scrutiny of the other posters. I had no idea how they made all the fabulous links and nice graphics. (I still have a lot to learn in that regard). So I was pretty timid about jumping in.

When I first lurked some Terri threads, and then followed the links to terrisfight.org, I was stunned! I thought that there had to be something wrong, because I didn't think our courts would ever do anything this far off base. I made my first comments on a Terri thread. She has not been far from my heart since. I learned everything I could about her and the case. I looked from a lot of different angles, too. I read all the sites that Hildy and others have put up to back up their viewpoints, but those other sites are always missing something very important. It's different for each one of them.

At any rate, I wholeheartedly believe that Terri was brought to my attention because God wanted me to do something with this. I know I can only help a little, but it's like what Mother Teresa said, "You can only do what you can do, and I can only do what I can do, but together we can do a wonderful thing." (or something to that effect).

Lately I have been posting almost exclusively on the Terri threads because there's so much info since the Supreme Court didn't take the case. I'm lucky to read other threads at all, much less take the time to post on them. But I don't mind. My family knows that I'm doing something that I think is every bit as important as staying home and raising my children was when they were younger. God gives us opportunities to work for his Glory every day. I try to take Him up on that as frequently as I can. (Of course, some days are better than others. LOL)
