When I Was Hungry...

Like it or not we all do. Mine is to draw and write my feelings. Usually it is in a humorous way. Sometimes not. This cartoon sums it up today.
I have friends on both sides of the Terri Schiavo issue. And each has his/her right to what they believe. I know that some of my friends feel that compassion for the suffering is paramount in the right to die camp. No one likes to suffer or to see another suffer. However in this instance there is more suffering to be had FROM the euthanasia than there was PRIOR TO it. This to me is not compassion but something starkly brutal. And for what? In this case it is hard to see. A husband's custodial rights? The State's right to decide judicial issues? What is THIS important?
I don't believe it is right to kill a person, EVER. That is my personal take on being pro-life.
Jesus said,"For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink...to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me."
It blows my mind to hear people talk about Terri Schiavo as being better off dead, being at peace,or being with Jesus. According to this scripture she is Jesus. Terri Schiavo is a very vulnerable person, the very "least of them".
This Passion week remember that Jesus thirsted too.
Sermonizing Over! Thanks.
