We all need to put our full trust, complete and total in our Father. Right now. In the darkening hour I know, I believe, He is waiting for this. His answers are always perfect. Our trust if rewarded with understanding. I love our Father. So much.
Let Him hear from all of us. Forever.
I found this hymn...I don't know it, but the words seem fitting for our time!
In grief and fear, to Thee, O Lord,
We now for succor fly,
Thine awful judgments are abroad,
O shield us, lest we die!
The fell disease on every side
Walks forth with tainted breath;
And pestilence, with rapid stride,
Bestrews the land with death.
O look with pity on the scene
Of sadness and of dread,
And let Thine angel stand between
The living and the dead!
With contrite hearts to Thee, our King
We turn, who oft have strayed;
Accept the sacrifice we bring,
And let the plague be stayed.

Are you weary of your burdens,
Are you sore distressed?
Come to me, says Christ and coming,
be at rest.
Are there marks that I should know him,
and make Him my Guide?
In His hands and feet are woundprints,
and his side.
If I ask Him to receive me,
will He tell me no?
Never. Not if Earth and Heaven
Melt like snow.
Listening to Bill O'reilly-John Gibson filling in, next up is Pat Cadell, he has been polling and believes the polls say support for Michael Shiavo is soon going to change???
Maybe a ray of hope?
I found an interesting article on the funding behind the "right to die" movement with this tidbit on how Florida has been a target of theirs for decades.
"On it’s[sic] web site, in a section titled 'A Historical perspective,' Choice in Dying lists among its legal achievements the 1968 introduction of the first living will statute in Florida. That proposal - which was sponsored and reintroduced over a period of five years by Representative Walter Sackett - provided for removal of care from severely retarded persons in state hospitals.
"After the San Francisco Examiner reported Sackett’s estimate that, with the bill’s passage, '$5 billion could be saved over the next half century if the state’s mongoloids were permitted merely to succumb to pneumonia,' the National Association for Retarded Children passed a resolution vowing to oppose it and any similar legislation. Subsequent living will legislation was less inflammatory, and by the 1980s, Choice in Dying had shed the radical image of its founders and was firmly ensconced in the mainstream."
