May God have mercy on America if we allow Terri Shiavo to die this unjust and inhumane death!! LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS indeed!! The repercussions of this act will not be pleasant and none of us can afford to keep our voices silent while this attrocity is before our very eyes. NO ONE should have the right to decide who lives and dies ESPECIALLY with the circumstances surrounding this case. It makes me ashamed to be an American if this can go on to it's finality. My thoughts and prayers go out to all involved. As a Catholic who does believe that God will indeed have the final word, I believe Terri will be with our Savior when all is done. The precident this sets for the rest of us pilgrims is NOT TO BE TOLLERATED. Rise up and fight all you Chistian soldiers and know that the might of heaven is on your side!!

OK, I've had my rant, but I've been so upset and heartsick about this that it has to come out. The lovely spring weather has been a blessing. I've comleted two more scarves and two caps for the Dulaan Project. Have finished cutting out quilt for Daniel. Have started a crochet afghan which does tend to go faster. It's similar to one I did in high school and I hope to have pictures posted in a few days. The plants Daniel and I started indoors are about ready to be transfered outside. Last night Daniel and I went shoe shopping and he chose a cute Thomas the Train pair that light up when he walks. He's been playing with them all day. Well, that's it for now. May God Bless each one who visits this blog site!! ++++++++++++
