Daily Journal February 2, 1998, By-William Thomas Thompson. No man has the right to kill; no state has the right to kill. Day 50 of my journal and what a blessing it is to design the page each day and speak freely the things that are on my mind. We expect a major rain today coming from the Gulf of Mexico, we have enjoyed very warm weather this winter with 3 sunny days. We do have very high winds that usually come in March. This day is sad being eve of the day of execution of Carla Faye Tucker in a Texas prison. If ever there were a true model Christian on earth, Carla Faye is that person. It is sad that she committed such a violate crime as she did while in sin, still none have the right to kill her, I want so much to take her place so she can witness to the world smiling so great as she does. Her smile glorifies God. Let her keep on in her witness of a miracle changed life. Why should she die and let people like O.J. and the abortion doctors live on and not pay for their crimes more violate on innocent people? Texas has no mercy. This case is guided by politics. These people know not God! These people that have the power of life or death know not God; they can cause death but have no power to create life. Rehab is out of the question, Texas is a killing field, God sees all things, He sees all people involved in this chain of murder for money like a job, then even like a higher elected office, I wish I could radiate the love of God like Carla Faye, she reminds me of words in a book that I am reading Christ and the fine arts’ about a painting entitled as – “The Immaculate Conception”, said to be one of the worlds 12 greatest of works of art now in the Louver in Paris having survived Napoleons wars. The painting by Murillo shows the Virgin Mary up on clouds in the third heaven, “Mary’s folded hands and up raised eyes would seem to indicate her quite surrender to the will of God" I quote. Her wonderful eyes do not see the glories above her; they are no longer organs of vision, but of expression. They are now windows though which we may look into a women's soul at its most supreme moment and this moment is not for her a revelation of the divine truth to the intellect; It is a mystical union of the finite and the infinite in her heart. Two super charged potentials now have here found contact and the result is a flash of blinding emotion, the Word has been made flesh." I do not suggest any divine status here for Mary or Carla Faye Tucker. I am saying that the glory of God shows on Carl's face, that she has met the Lord Jesus Christ. (So that George W. Bush might be president of these United States) I drove up the mountain today and at the very top snow was white all over the ground on a drive to Asheville to pickup my legs and feet braces. The big storm a week ago left many still without any electric in these hills. Some roads are still snowed over and The speed limit is up now in North Carolina to 65 on this new highway 25 from the state line to I-26, it helps a lot to arrive on time. Scripture for today is from Matthew 6-14, "For if we forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15- But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father (God) forgive your trespassers". This is Jesus teaching! Dear Lord, may I obey thy Word and love my neighbor as myself, May I receive in my heart the full complete Word of God, that I may not sin against thee. Give me divine understanding of the Bible. Slaw made only with raw cabbage, no dressing is my food of today. Thing is ungodly about the person or persons involved. I paint not a pretty picture of the history of religion. Did you know or ever think that war, WWII was a religious war. Hitler was for sure of the Devil but he based his hate for the Jews on the church doctrine of Martin Luther. Hitler is quoted in the Holocaust Museum in Washington as saying, "I finished the job for the Pope in killing the Jews". Satan is always first in the church.
