Rick and Bella

Say a prayer for the Santorum family.  Their three year-old-daughter, Bella, was taken to the hospital in Philadelphia today. Rick Santorum has canceled his campaign events to be with her.

Please look at this man's face.  Look at its warmth and humanity. Then thank God that such men are still willing to run for high office in this country.

Look at that little girl's face.  Look at her joy in life and her confidence in her father's love.  Then thank God that there are still such parents in the world, who know that each and every life, no matter how imperfect, is a gift to be cherished.

Katievs, your interpretation of the photo is touching on this Sunday morning. I agree with you that Santorum is the best of all these men. I am not confident that his goodness will be vindicated on Earth or specifically in this campaign season, but it does not make his wholesomeness less real.

 I watched Fox Sunday, Meet the Press and was alarmed they made no mention of this...why is so much of "their media" and "our media" trying to Force THEIR choice on voters? Prayers to Santorum and his family..

That was a beautifully written post Katievs. Thank you and be assured of my prayers. Political office is a high calling, but not the highest calling.

Thanks for this.  A good family and, I think, an honourable man.  My prayers are with them too.

Thank you Katievs.  My brother sent me a message on Friday saying that Rick was going home, but he didn't know why.  I hadn't seen anything specific in the news until now.

May God bless and keep the Santorum family.

 Peter,

I'm voting for SANTORUM.  I can do no other.  He is just.  No matter what happens, he deserves my vote.

If you add Newt to Santorum and discount the massive amount of money Romney has to lure idiots in, you will realize that Romney is losing Florida big.

Romney is the candidate that Obama wants.  He will ruin us.  Ann Coulter has Romnesia.  She has lost it period.  She has always been my favorite, even more then Rush.

ANN WAKE UP!!!!!!

Katievs,

Please, remember late last year we were debating about the abortion issue.  Please find it.  You asked me very tough questions.  I need my answers.  I don't have notes on this.

Thanks,

Jim

My prayers are with Santorum and his family. What a blessing children are to a parent's life. Santorum is right, "they are worth every tear."

I haven't any idea how to find it, Jim.  I have only the vaguest memories of the discussion.  Was it a post of mine?  Of yours?  Of someone else's?  I'm at a loss.  Sorry.

Another line of his from the article that I loved: "I look at the love and and simplicity she emits, and it's clear to me we're the disabled ones."

Santorum's faith and the faith of his wife will sustain them and provide the peace that's essential to living through something like this.  There is nothing that any of us can say or do that can achieve more than that, but, nevertheless, I join others with my prayers.
