It's long, and though some of the sentiments are a bit more violent than I'm used to praying, I post it here, as I know glorification and praise to our Dear Lord can only help. I pray this prayer tonight as if it's coming from Terri, God Love her. (New tagline .. swiped in part from DJ (thank you ;)
========================
Psalm 35:4-12, 16-28
May those who seek my life
be disgraced and put to shame;
may those who plot my ruin
be turned back in dismay.
May they be like chaff before the wind,
with the angel of the LORD driving them away;
may their path be dark and slippery,
with the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
Since they hid their net for me without cause
and without cause dug a pit for me,
may ruin overtake them by surprise-
may the net they hid entangle them,
may they fall into the pit, to their ruin.
Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD
and delight in his salvation.
My whole being will exclaim,
"Who is like you, O LORD ?
You rescue the poor from those too strong for them,
the poor and needy from those who rob them."
Ruthless witnesses come forward;
they question me on things I know nothing about.
They repay me evil for good
and leave my soul forlorn.
Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked;
they gnashed their teeth at me.
O Lord, how long will you look on?
Rescue my life from their ravages,
my precious life from these lions.
I will give you thanks in the great assembly;
among throngs of people I will praise you.
Let not those gloat over me
who are my enemies without cause;
let not those who hate me without reason
maliciously wink the eye.
They do not speak peaceably,
but devise false accusations
against those who live quietly in the land.
They gape at me and say, "Aha! Aha!
With our own eyes we have seen it."
O LORD, you have seen this; be not silent.
Do not be far from me, O Lord.
Awake, and rise to my defense!
Contend for me, my God and Lord.
Vindicate me in your righteousness, O LORD my God;
do not let them gloat over me.
Do not let them think, "Aha, just what we wanted!"
or say, "We have swallowed him up."
May all who gloat over my distress
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who exalt themselves over me
be clothed with shame and disgrace.
May those who delight in my vindication
shout for joy and gladness;
may they always say, "The LORD be exalted,
who delights in the well-being of his servant."
My tongue will speak of your righteousness
and of your praises all day long.
Thank you. Powerful Psalm.
Cardinal Keeler's statement leaves a lot to be desired. Sheeeeesh! I like the guys over at the Vatican a lot better.
Thanks, Starwise ... God promises that His Word will not return void, but will accomplish the purposes for which He sends it ...
I think we all should email the association for disabled people .. can't remember the name of it .. and pass along Ms. Johnson's cynical and demeaning comments about a disabled young lady. I'm definitely going to. I think they might like to know that .. and maybe Bob Dole would, too. Whatever would she have to say about Stephen Hawking???
Thank you for posting the link to those news stories. I was able to listen to both TV reports. Very much appreciated.
ABSOLUTELY! Good POINTS! Take TERRI TO COURT!
The misinformation and ignorance about Terri is truly amazing. It is so tiresome, isn't it? Even if you stand right in front of one of these ignorant goons and tell them the facts, they still don't get it. I know because I've tried. Oh, well, let's keep on keepin' on for Terri.
Family member works as intern in DC and said the callers for Weldon's bill matched and overtook the calls about ANWAR drilling, in their office....and that this is significant.
(you can use any or all of any tagline i have)
We bought a Jack Lalane juicer and we can drink a whole apple and carrot. We don't have to chew. Does this mean we are on life support?
Cruise is a dedicated Scientologist, and I had a friend who did some work for those folks in Clearwater. They are very crafty .. everything's positioned in a marketing tone .. very light and very subtle. I've also been told by someone who lives in the area that it's a true cult, and that they're the majority property owner in Clearwater. Knowing what I know about them, it would not surprise me in the least if they were a behind-the-scenes force in this travesty.
Jack Lalane juicer - drink your food - no chewing. Life support made easy.
It is ALL OVER THE PLACE in Clearwater...I don't know much about scientology...but I did read the part about their attitude towards disabled persons....it is awful.
"If they let Terri starve to death, I will never work another Republican campaign. Get somebody else to make your volunteer phone calls to get Pubbies elected.
And you'll see me avoiding political threads and instead hanging on threads like "Kitten born with two heads". I will totally fog out on the political sh**. If we can't save Terri when we control both houses of Congress and the Presidency, the country is doomed."
Promise?
