Marietta and Sister Helen Echoes of Mercy
"Loved ones, wrenched from our lives by violent crime, deserve more beautiful, noble and honorable memorials than pre-meditated, state-sanctioned killings. The death penalty only creates more victims and more grieving families. By becoming that which we deplore -- people who kill people -- we insult the sacred memory of all our precious victims." Marietta
Find MARIETTA HERE in this wonderful blogspot just last December RIGHT after the TEXAS Journey of Hope (Bill is here too and other JOH folk as well as key scenes from the classic Journey of Hope Film "Step by Step")

We should have many more Gratitudes and photographs for you, Marietta, as soon as Terri, the keeper of these treasures, is able to come up for air. And expect something ongoing down the road or at least the end result one of these days--a special JOH surprise.
KEEP COMING BACK!
By the way, if anyone is looking for the calendar, such as it is, for Capital "X" and the Campaign4Life Journey right now from Maryland down to Texas BY FOOT, please keep scrolling down. You will find some urls for the weblogs and a phone number for both Capital "X" and Bill Pelke who is probably with him by now.
Along with more stories, etc. on and for Marietta, you will see some really interesting journal entries soon. Don't miss the pieces by Sister Helen and also by
Martin Luther King--another mentor for our family The Journey of Hope, from Violence and Revenge to Healing and Reconciliation. Let's live in such a way that all humanity feels loved.
