This thread HAS been an oasis, a life line, at least to me. Last night I had three or four threads open, and was going back and forth between them all, trying to get news and encouragement and understanding. There was so much bickering and contention, and just plain bad feelings going on! Everyone was stressed, and it showed. The more I hopped, the more upset I became.
I had this thread open as well, and kept coming back. Finally I stopped hopping and started reading. Words of hope and understanding. Faith in God was evidenced. I knew that, even if the battle was lost, and poor Terri slipped away, we could together find the PURPOSE behind all of this, and maybe a way to fight back, together. For a time, my tears dried, and I felt renewed hope. Grief remains, but so does a sense of purpose that transcends this great tragedy.
SO FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, DON'T ENCOURAGE THE TROLLS. WE DON'T NEED THEM POLLUTING THE ATMOSPHERE. :o)

I laugh outloud with incredulous disblief every time one of the death mongers quotes scripture to defend murder in the name of Christ.
RIGHT! FOLKS, if you want at least one thread FREE OF CONTENTION AND HATRED AND ENCOURAGEMENT OF MURDER...do NOT answer these people. They have every other thread to advocate homocide...leave this one free for support, prayer and encouragement.
DO NOT ANSWER THESE PEOPLE! You are not going to sway them, and by encouraging them, you disrupt an oasis here.
