Tonight my husband reminded me that a local woman was recently arrested because she was neglecting her parakeets. The conditions under which the parakeets were living were considered cruel and inhumane. Yet there currently roars a legal battle over the life of a human being--a human being that is currently starving to death at the hand of her government.
To Terri and her family, I offer these words:
"So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows."
My prayers are with you tonight.
