Fear God (UNDER CONSTRUCTION)

FEAR GOD

Revelation 14: 7 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, 7Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. 8And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 8And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. 9And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, 10The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: 11And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. 12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

[edit] Early life

Letourneau was born Mary Katherine Schmitz in Tustin, California to university professor, John G. Schmitz and chemist, Mary Schmitz.[3][4] She was known as Mary Kay to her family and was affectionately called "Cake" by her father. She was the fourth of seven children, raised in a "strict Catholic household."[5][6] When she was two years old her father began his political career and ran for a seat in the state legislature.[6] Later, he held positions as a California state senator and U.S. Congressman and he ran for president as an American Independent Party candidate in the 1972 U.S. presidential election.[7][8]
In 1973 her three year old brother drowned in the family pool at their home in the Spyglass Hill section of Corona del Mar, California while under the care of Mary Kay and her older brother, Jerry.[7]
In 1982, Schmitz's political career was severely damaged when it was revealed that during his affair with a former student at Santa Ana College, where he had taught political science, he had fathered two children out of wedlock.[9] Her father's affair caused her parents to separate, but they later reconciled. According to friends Mary Kay felt betrayed and thought her mother was a cold person who "drove him to it" by denying her father affection.[10][11] Schmitz refused to lend financial support or assistance to his illegitimate children who became wards of the state after their mother died.[11]
Mary Kay attended Cornelia Connelly High School, an all-girls Catholic school in Anaheim, California, where she was a member of the cheerleading squad for Servite High School . During her high school years she is reported to have "liked parties and boys and traveling."[12] She was also a student at Arizona State University and was reported to be a "party-animal."[12]

[edit] Crime, trial and conviction

In 1996 while Letourneau was a Des Moines, Washington elementary school teacher, her relationship with 13-year-old student Vili Fualaau transformed from friendship into flirtation and sex.[13] Letourneau was arrested in March 1997 after her husband, Steve Letourneau, notified the police.[14]
During the trial she was examined and diagnosed with manic depression.[7] Letourneau pled guilty and was convicted of two counts of second-degree child rape. She was sentenced to six months in the county jail and three years of treatment.[clarification needed][15] At that time she was not required to register as a sex offender.[15] As part of her plea bargain, Letourneau agreed to avoid any further contact with Fualaau.[15]
Two weeks[15] (or one month)[13][clarification needed] after her release from her jail, police found Letourneau while she was having sexual relations with Fualaau in her car. She was arrested for violating the terms of her parole and the police found $6200 in cash and her passport inside her car.[9] As a result, Letourneau was sentenced to seven-and-a-half years in prison.[9]
In October 1998, while serving her sentence, Letourneau gave birth to her second daughter by Fualaau.[14] In January, 2001, Letourneau's father died, and she was denied a release from prison to attend his funeral.[16] While in prison Letourneau tutored fellow inmates, created audio books for the hearing impaired, participated in the prison choir and "rarely missed mass."[14] Because of her celebrity status Letourneau was unpopular with other inmates, "sassed guards and balked at work" and spent "18 of her first 24 months" in solitary confinement.[14]
In 2002, Fualaau's family sued the Highline School District and the city of Des Moines, Washington, for emotional suffering, lost wages, and the costs of rearing his two children, claiming the school and the Des Moines Police Department had failed to protect him from Letourneau.[17] During the ten week trial, defense attorneys Anne Bremner, representing the Des Moines Police Department, and Michael Patterson, representing the Highline School District, prevailed and no damages were awarded.[18]
Letourneau was released on a community placement program on August 4, 2004 and the following day she registered with the Kings County Sheriff's Office as a Level 2 sex offender.[13]

[edit] Relationship with Vili Fualaau

Letourneau first met Vili Fualaau when he was a student in her second grade class at Shorewood Elementary School in Burien, Washington;[19] she later taught a sixth grade class in which Fualaau was a student. Letourneau began an intimate relationship with 13-year old Fualaau[20] and at the age of thirty five Letourneau became pregnant with Fualaau's child.[19] Letourneau was subsequently arrested, convicted and imprisoned for statutory "second degree rape of a child".[15]
Letourneau gave birth to two children with Fualaau, giving her a total of six children. Her first daughter with Fualaau, Audrey, was born in 1997 while Letourneau was out of jail on bail. Daughter Georgia Alexis was conceived while Letourneau was on probation, and was born in 1998 while Letourneau was incarcerated.
After Letourneau's release from prison in 2004, Fualaau, then age 21, filed a motion in court, requesting a reversal of the no-contact order against Letourneau.[13] A few days later the request was granted.[21] Letourneau and Fualaau were married on May 20, 2005 in the Seattle suburb of Woodinville in a ceremony at the Columbia Winery.[2] Exclusive access to the wedding was given to the television show, Entertainment Tonight[2] and photographs were released through other media outlets. Letourneau has said that she would like to have another child and return to the teaching profession[22] and indicated that by law she is permitted to teach at private schools and community colleges.[22]
Since their marriage, Letourneau and Fualaau have hosted three "Hot for Teacher Night" promotions at a Seattle night club with Fualaau serving as the disc jockey and Letourneau as host.[23][24][25][26]
During an Inside Edition interview Fualaau said, "I'm not a victim. I'm not ashamed of being a father. I'm not ashamed of being in love with Mary Kay."[27] Attorney Anne Bremner, who met Letourneau in 2002 during Fualaau's civil suit, said that Letourneau considered her affair with Fualaau to be "eternal and endless." According to Bremmer, "Nothing could have kept the two of them apart."[13]

[edit] Personal life

While attending Arizona State University, Letourneau, then Schmitz, met and married fellow student Steve Letourneau. They had four children, the first conceived while she was enrolled at Arizona State University.[citation needed] Letourneau had a miscarriage, but her mother persuaded her to ask doctors to refrain from performing a "D&C" dilation and curettage, on the chance that she might be carrying twins. Doctors later discovered she was; one of the twins survived the miscarriage and was given the name Steven Jr.[citation needed]
Letourneau says she was in love with Steve Letourneau and married him after being urged by her parents. Letourneau and her husband left the university [28] and moved to Anchorage, Alaska.[29] After a year in Alaska, her husband was transferred to Seattle and Letourneau gave birth to her second child, whom she named Claire. Letourneau attended night classes at Seattle University and graduated in 1989. Later she began teaching second grade at Shorewood Elementary School in the Seattle-suburb of Burien, Washington.
Letourneau's marriage reportedly suffered from financial problems and extramarital affairs by both partners.[29] Letourneau's attorney, former neighbor and friend, David Gehrke, says that she was "emotionally and physically abused by her husband" during the marriage and twice "went to the hospital for treatment, and police were called," even though criminal charges were never filed. Despite these marital issues, Letourneau gave birth to two more children, her son Nicholas and her daughter Jacqueline.[30] In May 1999, while incarcerated, Letourneau divorced Steve Letourneau and surrendered custody of her four children.[31]
Letourneau's brother John Patrick Schmitz is the former deputy counsel to President George H. W. Bush.[8] Another elder brother, Jerry, is an engineer and was affiliated with the San Francisco Scientology mission. Letourneau's two younger sisters, Theresa and Elizabeth, are married and reported to be living in the Washington, D.C., area.[7]
