[MarMema]

do you not find it ironic that Christ said a cup of water given in His name....I keep thinking about that as the culture of death strides into the adoration of dehydration for killing.

It just seems too close to be a coincidence.

That was precisely my reference. By God's grace her tormentors will have the grace to understand and regret her thirst and not know it. At the same time, I'm so outraged I'm banging my head on the keyboard. Let her murderers be outcast, and God have mercy on the defenseless. Let someone be a hero in her case. Who will it be? Someone is going to be a hero in this woman's case. Someone is going to refuse to let this happen, someone in power is going to say No. Someone is going to offer his own career up for her. I hope.

Please add me to your ping list for Wesley's writings.

As someone who has worked with people with severe retardation and developmental disabilities, this story and others like it really hits home. I have known many wonderful people who have even less function than Terri... I think of one lady in particular who has severe MS and other disabilities- she is completely rigid and cannot even move at all, except to blink her eyes. To think of someone killing her and the others I know... it just breaks my heart.

We are ALL God's children. Terri's spirit is whole, her body is only temporary.
