I'm working in the same room with a woman who walked in this morning an announced, "I hope they don't reinstert that thing. I can't wait till she dies." I tried to contain my complete and utter horror and started to explain the situation but realised she wasn't worth it. It's enough I have to deal with her just with daily work, but today I absolutely can't stand to be around her.
Praying for you. I hate to say this as a beliver but things like that make you really just want to haul off and hit them. And if I weren't a believer I probably would.
Oy Veh! The pain!
The darkness is deep in our world.
We cannot sit on our hands any more in a culturally Christian world and expect the right laws, the right behaviors, the right standards. That world is gone.
Every step now calls us to be witnesses. And people are not going to necessarily agree with us.
But at least the pretense of it is over.
Lord, strengthen us.
Be with Terri,
keep Terri and her mother close to your heart,
and enhearten all of us who are working for you.
Help us be your hands here on earth.
Help us to see with your eyes,
love with your heart,
this day and always, Amen.
