  Speaker 1: We got a question for American mama's. Dear mama's where
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: do you stand on assisted suicide? Well, let's ask our
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: American mama's.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Mama, and joining is now our American mama's tern Dville
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: and Kimberly Burlison, they have Assisted suicide is legal in Canada,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: It's legal in some European countries.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I don't believe it's legal in the US, although I
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: remember it was it. Kravorkian was trying to do Doctor
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Jack of Working is trying to get it legalized, and
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: they thought about legalizing in Oregon. I don't think they
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: ever did. Yeah, uh so, where do you guys stand
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: on that? Well?
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: I saw that there's this elderly couple in Norway. There's
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: a new pod that's been created that releases a gas
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: to euthanize people.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Wall there's a new pod.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: It's a pod that's been created in Norway. And apparently
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: there's a lady that's got early onset of Alzheimer's and
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: so she wanted to go ahead, go so that she
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: is not a burden on her husband, a financial burden
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: as well. Okay, well he has elected to do it
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: with her because he doesn't want to live his life
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: without her. So they have chosen together to go and
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: they'll place the pod wherever you want. I think they
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: want to be like in a forest and then they
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: want to go together. And it devastated me for some
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: reason when I saw this story, I was so upset.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: So then I start reading a little bit more and
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: I'm finding out like in Canada, people are choosing to
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: in their life because they can't pay their bills, or
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: because they're depressed, or they got broken up with It's
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: not like a life ending something's wrong with your health.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: It's like right once you open life, once you open
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that door, yes to where not only you know, I
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: mean obviously people can commit suicide any time they want,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: but once you actually sanction it by the state, it
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: might become.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: A social contentment.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: Well they're seeing it. That's what's happening right now in Canada.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: And so I don't know, you know. So I'm having
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: the conversation with my husband and you know, he's like, well,
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, when you want to go,
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: you should go.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: But I have that.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Feeling of like, no, you can't. You like, what does
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: it say biblically about That's what I'm.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: So this is one of those things in everyday life.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: If you guys don't mind if I preach a little
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: bit in everyday life. Are you supposed to just do
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: what you want to do? Or are you supposed to
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: be doing what God wants you to do? Right? What
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: is God's plan? This is what we really should be
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: asking every day God, what is your plan for me today?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Not my will? But your will be done? Okay? Because
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: his plan's better than ours. I guarantee you that his
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: plan is better than ours. Part of what God wants
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: is for us to trust him. How many times does
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the Bible say trusts God? Trust in God? Trust God?
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: And that even comes into the end of your life. Right,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: So the doctor may tell you, hey, we got this
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: terminal thing and there's okay, well, this was not my plan,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: this isn't what I want. And sure I could go
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: home and I could commit suicide. But is that what
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: God wants me to do? Does God have a plan
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: even in my final days? I'm gonna I'm gonna bring
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: this back to Denise So, our our co host on
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: the show when we first started, One of our Moms,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: but before Kimberly was Denise Arthur and Denise well, because
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: of the COVID lockdowns, she didn't get to go to
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: her doctor's appointment, and the next time she got to
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: go to a doctor's appointment, she had stage four cancer
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: in multiple locations. So we had been praying on the show,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: we want healing, we want healing. We had a whole
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: bunch of people were praying over her. We want healing,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: we want healing. And then one day it was just like, well,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: that's not God's plan, and Denise in that moment, went okay, well,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: then we need to change our prayer. Instead of saying
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: praying for healing. She said, Okay, I want I'm gonna
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: pray that we do this the way God wants us
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to do this. Right. So, even as she went out
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: with stage four cancer, she wanted she was trusting in
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: God and that is what we're called to do more
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: than anything else. And I talked about this too. Trust
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: is a choice, just like love.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: Oh I have a question though.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: So years ago, there was a coach for Louisiana Tech
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Baseball Ballparks named after Pat Patterson, his wife. In their
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: older age, she was suffering like in pain, ungodly amounts
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: of pain, he could not take it. He could not
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: take it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: He couldn't.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: They tried to get her help, and so for I
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: don't know if it was months or years. Anyway, long
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: story short, he left a letter to his family. He
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: took her life and took his own life because he
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: could not stand to watch her in pain. Watching her
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: in pain put him in a lot of pain. And
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I have to extend grace because I think in that
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: moment of insanity, when you're like he could, didn't know
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: what else to do, I extend grace. So there there's
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: this weird part of me that's like the pods and
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: if you see the picture of the pods are like
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: glass in case, like truly tesla looking type small things.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: I don't understand that. I don't understand going somewhere and
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: being in nature and you're healthy as a horse. But
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: in these in those situations, I do extend grace because
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: I'm like, I can't imagine, kind of like people would say,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: why would why would that be part of their journey?
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Why? You know, there's just and I don't have the answer.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I know, I know it's just you have to agree
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: with you.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I agree with you. You have to extend grace. That's
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I'm not trying.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: To God that God's the one that takes care of
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: We don't have to we don't have to judge, we
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: don't have to take care of it, because He's got it.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: He's got He has all of us in the palms,
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: in the palm of his hand.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: But one of the things I try and do in
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: my life is I try to anticipate how I would
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: react to things, so that when those things actually happen
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to me, I'm reacting the way I want to. Okay,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: And in these situations, the way I want to act
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: is what God wants. I want to choose his will,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: not mine, because I trust that his is better than mine.
