"The mentally challenged can help us regain our sight. They remind us that existence, itself, is intrinsically beautiful because every life has been created by God." Building upon the wisdom of those two sentences, allow me to add that we may think we understand what being alive (that blessed gift surmounted only by the gift of eternal life through His Grace) is about, but we do not in actuality comprehend what is God's greater purpose or what is actually being accomplished in His design by our living in these corruptible bodies for the time we spend in them.
That said, it is arrogant fist waving at the Creator to assume a quicker end for this time on Earth is an assist to God's plan ... not knowing His plan or the full design, some assume authority to end an innocent, disabled individual's life on their own agenda-laden timing. The spiritual battle lines are shaping up prior to the final days of this 'dispensation', with a new universae to follow that we haven't the slightest ability to predict or comprehend at this stage. May God have mercy and spread His grace over Terri Schindler Schiavo and her loving, grieving family; may God have His Justice for those so eager to put her down in their rush to institute their agenda of death for expedient reasons. May God have mercy upon US all.
