Yes, I've been giving that a lot of thought as well. I have also been thinking how we have been tempted mightily lately.

The life of Terri in exchange for the Law of the Land. We have fought for years for judges who followed the law as it was written and in this case, with the exception of Judge Greer, that is what has been done. And here we are with person after person suggesting we give that up for Terri's life. A cruel choice, but temptation that is easy would not qualify as temptation. What are we willing to give up in exchange for one life? Our constitution? the protections of the law? Do we really want legislation from the bench? Do we have the kind of people making laws that should be making laws? Do we really want leaders who ignore the law whenever they choose? Just who put these temptations before us, and how many fell for it?

God speaks to us in strange ways sometimes.

I daresay there are other exceptions.
