Thank you to my Christian friends.

I wanted to say thank you to my Christian friends who have been helping me as I struggle with the anti-Christian feelings that have come up for me after Dr. Tiller's murder.

Thank you especially to goodbadgirl-- you are such a good person, and I appreciate you so much-- the compassion you brought to my question, your willingness to tell your stories, to speak kindly in the face of my anger and aggression and defensiveness, and the bravery and honor you always show-- I just can't thank you enough. I love you. I so desperately hope that things improve for you soon.

Thank you also for the reminder that Dr Tiller was Christian; that he was, in fact, murdered in his church. The more I read about him, the more I honor and respect his ethics, compassion, and life. He risked his own life to help women in the most desperate circumstances. I must assume that his life and his choices were intertwined in his own Christian faith.

xoxo

I'm glad they were there. I'm sorry I was elsewhere; this has been one crazy week. Salaam, friend.
