“… 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?
The Republican Party could certainly do worse..." http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/04/17/the_texan_who_stole_the_show_at_margaret_thatchers_funeral

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
