At a time like this, after all the suffering she has gone through, all the suffering her family has experienced and will experience in the coming days and weeks, it's very hard for me to not wish ill to the person(s) who put this beautiful woman to death. I'm trying very hard not to curse her in-name only husband. I'm having very horrid thoughts about how his last days should be spent. I was brought up Catholic and realize that we are all supposed to turn the other cheek, forgive and forget. But when it comes to murder, I will have a hard time doing that. I pray for her family, that they will be able to live with the thought that their daughter was sentenced to death and that death sanctioned by the courts, because she had become an inconvenience to the man who had at one time promised to love, honor and obey their daughter. I pray they will be able to survive their loss and keep Terri's memory alive for us all. Pray for Terri, pray for the Schindler's and pray for us all.

If it is any help, and I know what you mean, a person who is so steeped in cruelty as ms, will not know much happiness or joy on earth. I do believe that he will never have a good day in his life after this. Cruel people just aren't able to understand love or happiness or gentleness, they create their own hells on earth. Nor will his wife to be. The lawyer? I think he is beyond my understanding and I don't know what to think of him.

forgive and forget.

No, we are never commanded to forget. We can, however ask God to help us forgive in circumstances where it is beyond our own power.

We forgive because unforgiveness eats away at us. We also forgive because of Matt 18:18--

I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
