Many apologies. Look at the weeds around here! Better get busy; perhaps plant some shrubbery over there….
Gregg has been beside himself over this Terry Shiavo situation, and I must admit that for a time I had no trouble remaining detached and aloof from the whole thing. However, empathy catches up to nearly all of us and the horror has finally sunk in. Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock could not together conjure such a diabolical end for an innocent woman. I, for one, had no ability to imagine the extent of the organized, engaged, willful machinery of this poor woman’s torture.
It must not be discounted the heavy application of government force to insure that Terry leaves this world in as miserable a way as is imaginable. The black robes have stated that not only will she die, but that we shall be forced to watch and may do nothing to stop it. Police arrest those attempting to give aid, and have cordoned off the facility. Healthcare professionals, who by definition have dedicated their lives to the preservation of human life are forced to stand idly by while this machinery slowly, horribly grinds Terry to dust.
This is not a fork in the road to western depravity and moral insolvency, we have obviously passed beyond that, but a marker in red letter’s stating, “Turn Back Now – SHITSTORM AHEAD!”
“And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me’” Mathew (25:31-40).
Does the converse apply in that what we do to the least brothers we do to Him?
I don’t know anything of Terry’s father, but in his shoes I know if I was unable to mount a successfully murderous snatch and grab before hope runs out for my daughter there would be hell to pay.
“Vengence is Mine, Sayeth the Lord”.
Yes, and I would make immediately available to Him as many of those directly responsible for the continued suffering of my daughter for administration of said vengence.
We got trouble on planet earth, boys. We got trouble.
