Foreign Policy: Amanda Thatcher delivered a reading from Ephesians 6: 10-18 at Margaret Thatcher's funeral





At the funeral, Margaret's granddaughter, delivered a reading from Ephesians 6: 10-18 that has the British media agog… http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/04/17/the_texan_who_stole_the_show_at_margaret_thatchers_funeral


“… it was a 19-year-old Texan who stole the show from the deceased Iron Lady.

With poise reminiscent of the elder Thatcher, Amanda Thatcher, Margaret's granddaughter, delivered a reading from Epistles that has the British media agog. Amanda, who lives with her mother in Texas, chose a rather militant passage that calls on believers to "put on the whole armour of God…”

It was a great read...

“Amanda now lives in Texas with her mother, stepfather, and brother Michael. She is reportedly deeply religious, has carried out missionary work in China, and attends the University of Richmond in Virginia.

"Poised, eloquent, the descendant of conservative royalty, evangelical Christian, and Texas-bred: It all seems to add up to a promising political future. She certainly hit it out of the park in her introduction to the world, and isn't it pretty easy to picture a clip of Amanda's speech at her grandmother's funeral playing a role in a future campaign commercial?

What a great Bible passage... Ephesians 6:10-18

New King James Version (NKJV)

The Whole Armor of God

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— Ephesians 6: 10-18

New York Times: Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher of Britain Has Died

Margaret Thatcher, a towering, divisive and yet revered figure in British politics, died on Monday of a stroke, her family said. She was 87.
Lady Thatcher had been in poor health for months. She served as prime minister for 11 years, beginning in 1979. She was known as the “Iron Lady,” a stern Conservative who transformed Britain’s way of thinking about its economic and political life, broke union power and opened the way to far greater private ownership.

Martin Bashir On Margaret Thatcher: 'Incredibly Divisive' (VIDEO)

The Huffington Post  |  By Jack Mirkinson

Posted: 04/08/2013

MSNBC's Chuck Todd and Martin Bashir seemed to be on two different planets when it came to discussing the legacy of the late Margaret Thatcher.

Thatcher died on Monday morning, prompting a huge wave of media coverage in both America and Britain. She was perhaps the most polarizing political figure of her generation, but Todd's summation had only kind words... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/08/martin-bashir-on-margaret_n_3037853.html

Thatchers Daughter Reveals Ex Premier Has Dementia by Kevin Sullivan for the Washington Post


Thatchers Daughter Reveals Ex Premier Has Dementia by Kevin Sullivan for the Washington Post

On Tuesday, August 26, 2008, Kevin Sullivan wrote a piece for the Washington Post that the former prime minister of Britain, Margaret Thatcher, now 82, has a form of geriatric onset dementia.

Although such as been rumored for quite sometime; for many of us who admired her public service – whether or not we agreed with all of her decisions and approaches - the news was greeted with great sadness.

History will be kind to Mrs. Thatcher.

However, even more so sad was the reaction of
too many folks in the comment section.

For many of us who have never gotten used to the vile personal viciousness of the left, the comments seemed way over the top. (Related - See:

Where’s the humanity?

Thatcher's Daughter Reveals Britain's Ex-Premier Has Dementia

By Kevin Sullivan

Washington Post Foreign Service

Tuesday, August 26, 2008; A10

LONDON, Aug. 25 -- The daughter of
Margaret Thatcher has disclosed that Britain's former prime minister is suffering from dementia, in the family's first public confirmation of what has been widely rumored in Britain for several years.

Thatcher's condition has deteriorated so much that she forgets that her husband, Denis Thatcher, died in 2003, her daughter reports in a memoir to be published next month, serialized over the weekend in the Mail on Sunday newspaper.

"I had to keep giving her the bad news over and over again," Carol Thatcher wrote. "Every time it finally sank in that she had lost her husband of more than 50 years, she'd look at me sadly and say 'Oh' as I struggled to compose myself. 'Were we all there?' she'd ask softly."

Carol Thatcher said she first noticed her mother's failing memory over lunch in 2000, a decade after she left 10 Downing Street. Margaret Thatcher was prime minister from 1979 to 1990.

[…]

In her book, "A Swim-On Part in the Goldfish Bowl: A Memoir," Carol Thatcher wrote that her mother still shows flashes of her old self, particularly about events from her time in office.
