Those of us that SEE are the 'front line' ! We are God's children but we are also his warriors! Let's make HIM proud of us!

That may be, but why don't ALL Christians SEE?????

It seems that the Christians who see "clearly" about this case have had something happen in their lives which reveals the capacity for evil in other people. For some it may have been a very bad marriage and subsequent divorce (my case), for others abusive parents, betrayal by a co-worker or trusted friend, church scandals, etc. I would venture to guess that just about everyone who sees the injustice of Terri's situation has had something happen to them to make them more sensitive to others. Most of the people who defend Michael start out by saying, "Well, I had to ..." It's always about them and what they had to do. With those of us who are fighting for Terri, it's about what happened to us and what we're trying to prevent from happening to others. The things that have happened to us give us the ability to be empathetic, while those who have done wrong want to justify their actions.

I know for the first time in 12 years, I just today thanked the Lord for my divorce, because it has made me understand Terri's situation in a personal way - so that I can pray for her - and for Michael, that he would repent before it's too late. I can very well understand the evil and hatred that Michael has for her and her family - because they are good and righteous. Those who are evil hate those who strive to be righteous. A lot of times people just don't want to face the fact that people can really be that wicked. If they did, they'd have to look in the mirror and see themselves, too. One just can't face the wickedness without knowing that Jesus has saved us.
