Nothing short of amazing. I wish she could truly understand her own power as a person and not write of that power to something else. I am sure the situation was overwhelming and she convinced herself that a positive outcome could not be achieved on her own. So she looked to a higher power. In my opinion, it was her and nothing but her.
I hope that makes some sense. If she can do good work and help others through her faith, good on her. Maybe that is what gives her the ability to take on challenges.

He's actually a good deal more than that. He's a military sharpshooter and is waging "asymmetrical"

I didn't say it was new news, just that the opinion about panic is not only right, but really right.

Actually, an honorable discharge adds some merit to Dorner's story that he was unjustly fired for

I think they are probably precautionary. We have a tiny hospital here and two or three ambulances.
