Hello again. I flipped through channels before work today to find a church lady acting like a Bible Beater. My terminology for a deeply devoted Christian who is always right and opposition to their beliefs is wrong. Anyway, a question was asked of the church lady. Someone wrote in asking why a woman who had a feeding tube removed is not allowed to be let go and be with God. The church lady answered with a Bible verse about life and changed the subject, why I thought she was a Bible Beater. In other words, she ain't answering the question when challenged. I can answer it for her. Because she would have to admit defeat if this woman died. My brother says God answers every prayer, sometimes the answer is no. I give him that. Yes some people fear death, fear the unknown, fear defeat or failure, fear pain, fear being forgotten. But this church lady is forgetting something. We are not immortal. Someday, like it or not, we all die. Humans die, animals die, plants die, coral die, and there is nothing these pro-life people praying for a miracle can do about it. It is just a fact of life that people and objects we love perish. Nothing in this world is permanent. Even dreams die when we awake and forget them.
But the church lady probably would not understand that she does not hold power in the universe and would never admit she does not know everything, so I will fire back some Bible verses at her. In Genesis, after Adam and Eve tasted the forbidden fruit and banished from the Garden of Eden, God said to Adam that he was created from dust and dust he shall return. Want another one. In Ecclesiastes, it is said that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die...A time to mourn and a time to dance. Also at my grandma's funeral the preacher quoted from somewhere in the Bible that there are many mansions in heaven, if there were not I would have told you so.
I think I will say my own prayer for this family of the dying woman. I pray for love in their hearts, peace in their soul, forgiveness for all against them, and joy of naming a scholarship fund in memory of this woman they can't let go from clinging to false hope. Amen. That is not something I do often. Happy Easter. Post later. Bye!
