Sad when any child dies especially when parents put them in jeopardy. Has CNN done any stories about American youth who died today resulting from illegal drugs or any killed in Chicago? Just concerned about a child whose parent put their life at risk as far as I see.

Thank you! Gratitude overcame Resentment

It would be so wonderful if gratitude to God could overcome the resentment of fleshly minded (even if nominally religious) “conservatives.”

But until one sees the Father bright and clear, one cannot understand the sons and daughters.

When earth fails, this is the traditional mise-en-scene where God steps forward and succeeds.

But churches are so impoverished in vision. They try becoming involved in it, they get a spate of resistance from Satan, and they just give up saying “hey, I’m just looking out for me.” Churches will have to regain maturity to be able to carry out this kind of “ministry” in a way that doesn’t deserve the scare quotes.

I don’t see how this is a humanitarian disaster. This is child abuse, plain and simple. This sucks for the kid but I see this as predictable results of dragging young children thousands of miles out in the elements. Any American parent who treated their kids the same way this guy treated his would be rightly charged with child abuse/endangerment and nobody would even think about blaming the LE agency who apprehended the US parent.

Oh? What qualifies to you?

The scale and international political dysfunction sure qualifies to me, but again I like to use a dictionary.

This doesn’t, unless you want to call child abuse a humanitarian disaster.

Merry Christmas Jim

Christmas Day
THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS FILLS MY SOUL.

Today I take time to reflect on the holy birth and the joy and jubilation its spiritual message brings to me. As I celebrate the birth of Jesus, I celebrate the Christ presence within me.

The welcome news is that the Christ light shines brightly through me as life, love, and peace. This divine light is the essence of my being. At any time I can experience a new and joyful awakening. I experience Christmas of the heart!

The spirit of love and joy remains with me as I return to my day, rested and renewed. I am at peace—one with the presence of pure Being. The spirit of Christmas fills my soul.

To you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.—Luke 2:11-12

The doctor gave him ibuprofin and returned him to custody, where he died 90 minutes later.

How many Americans died today because a doctor or intern had to work Christmas and did not want to be bothered?

It can be — please point up a reference that says it isn’t, a reference that isn’t just the private way you feel.

It’s kind of hard for wealthy Arab regimes to ignore the glitz. God bless the glitz — if that’s how He can get His foot in the door. The ultimate point is spiritual.

You do understand that this situation must be looked at through something larger than a keyhole, don’t you? Including a view of American politicians?

If we had a wall, this child would still be alive.

BUILD THE WALL NOW!!! If it saves one child’s life, it will all be worth it.

Bush certainly loved illegals and looked the other way when they came crawling.

Scumbag also said he veto an Englis as an official language bill and sign an assault rifle ban

Make no mistakes about it, the Bush Klan are a bunch of northeastern liberals preyending to be Texans.
