OY, O Land
Lamentations 4 & 5 (excerpts)
How dark the gold has become,
How the pure gold has changed!
The sacred stones are poured out
At the corner of every street.
Even Jackals offer the breast,
They nurse their young;
But the daughter of my people has become cruel
Like ostriches in the wilderness.
The tongue of the infant cleaves
To the roof of its mouth because of thirst;
The little ones ask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.
Those who ate delicacies
Are desolate in the streets;
Those reared in purple
Embrace ash pits.
Their appearance is blacker than soot,
They are not recognized in the streets;
Their skin is shriveled on their bones,
It is withered, it has become like wood.
Better are those slain with the sword
Than those slain with hunger;
For they pine away, being stricken
For lack of the fruits of the field.
The hands of compassionate women
Boiled their own children;
They became food for them
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Remember, O Lord, what has befallen us;
Look, and see our reproach.
…“Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these,
you did not do it to me. These will go away into eternal punishment,
but the righteous to eternal life.” Jesus, the Christ (Matthew 25: 45, 46)
May God have mercy on our land as judges order the starvation of the helpless.
Eric adds: LaShawn too is distressed.

Blessed Are They That Mourn
I feel the same as La Shawn in regards to Terri Schiavo. Sometimes the thought of what is going on (and that some feel this is right), makes my stomach turn. When it becomes to much to bear, I grab my scriptures and look to my Savior, Jesus Christ, f…

It is Wednesday, 1:30 in the morning. My heart is breaking. Terri is dying, and I can’t believe it. What is wrong with us? Terri is not brain dead. She is brain damage. There is a difference!!
Her life looks very different than from the majority of people, but that doesn’t mean her life is less valueable. Her family still knows that Terri’s spirit is still with her body. I don’t understand why her husband doesn’t see it.
I am a 29 year old woman with pretty severe cerebral palsy, and I’m just so tired of the lack of respect and dignity given to people with disabilities. i hate that I feel like I have to fight against misconceptions everywhere I go-even with God’s people. And sometimes, like this morning, I wonder why I bother. It is 2005, and people with disabilities are still fighting for basic human diginity.
Sigh…..but I know I will continue on educating in the name of Christ because He places value on ALL human life
I love Jesus so much. It is obvious He has been with Terry since all of this began. If Terry dies, it will be on our heads-not His. He has done everything to try to work in the heart of man. I know that He will use Terry for His glory. That is what gives me comfort. We may let down this woman, but God WILL NEVER let her down!
Thank you, Taste of Liberty. Your posts bless me.
