A Wing And A Prayer on "A Dying Finalized"

Ron Rolling of A Wing And A Prayer reminds us of a sad anniversary:
Today is the one-year anniversary of the death of Terri Schindler-Schiavo.

The website Blogs For Terri memorializes.
A year ago, I acknowledged Terri Schiavo's passing:
May the Lord bless and keep her. May his perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Forgive us, Terri. We don't know what we're doing. Father, Forgive us, we know not what we do:

Americans--The public, by 63 percent-28 percent,
supports the removal of Schiavo's feeding tube

We really don't know what we're doing:

By a significant margin the public views the removal of Terri
Schiavo's (search) feeding tube as an act of mercy rather than
an act of murder, according to the latest FOX News poll.

The new poll — taken prior to Schiavo's death — finds that a 54
percent majority sees the removal of Schiavo's feeding tube as
"an act of mercy" and almost a third see it as "an act of murder"
(29 percent), 7 percent say "neither" and 11 percent are
unsure.

Murder as an act of mercy--practically a textbook definition of euthanasia. Another fruit of "choice". Another Reasonable conclusion that furthers the worship of Thanatos and I-am-the-lord-my-god. Heavan knows we need more fools and we need them fast.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Pray for the Shindler family as they mourn her death on this terrible anniversary. Pray for the conversion of Michael Schiavo's heart. He needs repentance more than he even knows. Pray for our society, which continues to celebrate the Radical Individualism that sees us as our own Masters.

We still do not know what we do. God have mercy on us.
