I think many of us are experiencing the same thing. I normally try to figure out answers to a problem. I've spent days combing over various Florida statutes hoping I'd find something others, whose job is the law, have missed. I came in from being away at work this afternoon and got distraught at all that has worked against Terri today.
I was extremely angry and came back here to find the prayers, and to listen to those prayers going out with the occasional nudge to quiet down my soul and pray. My anger culminated in letting loose in a post against Satan that he would not have me, or have any of us here. The words tore up from my soul; that's how it felt. I let it go and was trembling as I felt the Lord tell me to calm down, that everything would be alright in the end. It reminded me of that feeling as a child with your parents arms wrapped around you after a booboo. :-)
I've been thinking this all along, and others here validated it; I've had this feeling that this is a choice we're given. God has given us an option through man's torture and mistreatment of Terri. We can choose Life or we can choose death and the forces of evil behind it. I also have this feeling that our choices will be set in stone.
"It reminded me of that feeling as a child with your parents arms wrapped around you after a booboo. :-)"
That is a wonderful description! It's exactly how it feels!
I'm so glad you came here tonight and were able to find peace.
I ran to the kitchen to make soup really quickly for my dh who is working late. I turned on the radio in the kitchen with a station we listen to while we do dishes or cook. (we're more radio people than TV people) "God is in Control" was the song on the radio when I turned it on and I just grinned from ear to ear!
That's exactly what I was thinking at mass this evening. The question has been called by God and there is no ducking it. You are on one side or the other. Make your choice and be prepared to accept the consequences. This whole turn of events....Terri's starvation, Good Friday, Pope on his last legs, Feast of Annunciation coinciding w/ Good Friday has got to have some very deep moral message for all of us. Tomorrow, we'll hear the words, "I THIRST"....wow....When I hear them I'm going to be thinking of Terri. I can't even put into words what I'm feeling...it's impossible.
