I give it to God, give him my rage and hurt and grief, then try to discern what he wants me to do...Satan is so good at turning righteous anger into self-righteous anger and to sin I cannot trust myself.

Exactly. God will instruct us what to DO. Jesus was busy doing God's work....He will instruct us what that is. But we are not to be "busy with anger," of that, I'm positive. Are we not God's light in the world of darkness and lies? This means TRUTH MUST BE TOLD. In Terri's case, that may continue to be our mission....until the "right" person, with a softened heart listens and hears....and we pray, acts on that truth.

Well said. Reminds me some words I copied off an FR thread about the Orthodox St. Symeon:

Having received the divine radiance in your soul, you showed yourself a most brilliant luminary in the world. You scattered its dark madness and convinced all men to seek what they lost, the grace of the Holy Spirit.

Those lines really spoke to me. May we continue to try to "scatter the dark madness of this world" which at times like these, with the judicial system endorsing euthanasia of the disabled, seem very terrible indeed.
