Trust me there was a lot of prayer happening.
“terminally ill vigilante group”
How about brain cancer? It does not matter. MOM. PERSON. SACRED. 4TH. DUTY.
You need to up your joke game, then; because it really wasn’t funny.
He’s only charged with assault and battery??
It’s Atlanta. They’ve been trying to drive all the white people out of there for decades.
I’ve rode MARTA before, and it’s no worse than the MBTA.
Hey, Lt, you think you are the only suffering saint round here? Hmm.
Many of us care for our stroke victim spouses, profoundly disabled children, dying mothers and fathers etc with aplomb.
Now, if the situation included my now seriously disabled stroke victim wife of 36 years and my 6 year old grand child, I know what my beloved Lady would demand of me. However, once I safely rescued the child, I return for her, even if it was now a hopeless cause.
Don’t even doubt my resolve. I know what I am capable of, having lived through a few dangerous instances, I know what I would endeavor to do.
I really think in your man’s heart, you would too. I hope neither of us has to find out.
I’m in your shoes only it’s my Dad... and I’d jump in front of a train to save him, even though he doesn’t know who I am and hasn’t long to live anyway...I’d do so even for your mom, a stranger. There’s no time to calculate “value,” and no need to, when you remember that our savior paid the same price to redeem each of us.
I know it’s exhausting and your mom’s illness has not just robbed her of her identity and liberty, but it has also robbed you of all your freedom just as my Dad’s loss has taken mine... but it has not robbed her or you of your purpose. Our purpose is to glorify God by selflessly serving the least among us, and for that it is necessary that some have the purpose of serving God most directly by being the least- being those whom we are to serve. Sometimes we just need to be reminded of these things since these “least among us” are by definition unable to return the favor, or in the case of those with severe dementia, unable to even express appreciation for our service. It helps to remember we are really serving God and so it matters not at all the “value” we place on a person but the value God places on a person.
I’m more worried about what it says of our emasculated society that the daughter was the one who went to the rescue when every man there should have been alert and moved first.
Aggravated assault and battery is all the perp is being charged with? WTH? Should be attempted murder.
