How do you know she has any relationship to Christ?

I don't, of course, but as God managed to set up life-saving appointments for the Ethiopian eunuch, the Philippian jailer, and Cornelius, I hope He's previously found a way -- if indeed Terri will soon die at the hands of the unmerciful -- to introduce Terri to His Son and His mercy.

Oh, I hope so too. I just wish I had evidence on which to base that hope, that anyone ever told her of her deep need of salvation in Jesus Christ alone, through faith alone, by God's grace alone.

This just has me sick and angry beyond my power to express. It is like a distillation of all that's wrong with our nation -- our drift from the Constitution, to say nothing of the Bible which so influenced the thought and worldview of the Framers.

Wait, did I say "drift"? "Drift" praises by faint damn. It hasn't been a drift. It's been sedition, it's been rebellion, it's been a suicidal and deliberate plunge.

What enrages me is the innocent who suffer. I'm sorry Hunter Thompson's worldview led him to kill himself; but he suffered directly for his own sin. I'm sorry on one level or another for everyone who ruins his own life by his own sins.

But this woman, Terri Schiavo, is being slowly tortured -- TORTURED -- to death, in this land of unprecedent plenty, and of unprecedented access to God's Word. And this is being done to her in full view of everyone and, if the polls are to be believed, with the fatuous approval of the majority.

Dear God in Heaven, we kid ourselves about how we're #1 because of our superior military, and we feel so damnably invulnerable -- incidents like this just make me feel that the "timer" of God's ripely overdue judgment is about to ring.

To employ an overused cliche, I fear for my children. They didn't do this; but they are likely to suffer for the sinning idiocy of their elders, many of whom post regularly on FR in defense of our godless culture. And when the hammer falls, so long delayed by Romans 2:4's mercy, not a soul in the universe will be able to gainsay God's verdict. There will be a lot of weeping and howling, yes; but a lot of nodding, too.
