There's no place for despair and hopelessness. It's all about the future reunion and hopes on God's promises.

I'm yet to see a grieving Christian in despair. The separation is painful but the console comes in knowing it's only temporary.

Catholics are Christians. In that belief system, there's a heaven, which translates into an afterlife. I've never once been to a funeral where people are smiling.


Below, however, is a VERY different story. creepy

"Sometimes you just have to sit back and type ........ and this is one of those times. Michelle Duggar recently miscarried a 5-month-old fetus she named Jubilee Shalom Duggar (that name, I know...) and the entire family held a memorial for her at their church in Arkansas today. During the memorial, they handed out professionally taken photos of Jubilee's hand and feets with the note "There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world" printed on top. The pictures from the memorial were posted by a family member on Twitter and now they're on TMZ. Yes, we're still living in a world where absolutely nothing is sacred.

The pictures really aren't that graphic and I'm sure you'll see them when TLC airs a 2-hour special about this. I've seen pictures of women holding their dressed up miscarried babies while the entire family is smiling. Some might say it's tacky as hell, some might say it's creepy as hell, but I've always said that you grieve how you grieve and I'll grieve how I grieve. And yes, I grieve by shoving my face into a sheet cake until I'm too bloated to feel emotions anymore. But the thing that really gets me is that church. That's not a church, that's a Las Vegas casino! I know I see Wayne Newton back there. They have fancy ass lights and LED screens and shit. It's like if Jesus was new money. I mean, don't have some homeless people to feed?"

So you mean that some other family member, not the duggars themselves, posted something about this online and now every Hollywood gossip site is writing about it, and so it's the Duggars' fault.

Yep. And the fact that Kevin Federline has fathered 5 children (so far) has made me a bit cynical about the miracle of childbirth being God's plan.

I very nearly spit soda all over my keyboard. Good stuff

Oh yes, in all circumstances a child is a blessing. A 13-year old crack addict is pregnant with the child of her AIDS-carrying rapist -- oh blessed day!
