Many years ago, two women came before the Great King Solomon in the bible, and each woman claimed that the child in question was theirs, and wanted guardianship over it.
King Solomon said to just cut the baby in half, and to give each woman half of the baby.

But the real mother cried out, "Oh, do not kill the baby, just give it to the other mother", for she did not want to see her child dead, regardless of her loss. Of course, Solomon knew who was the real mother, and he gave the baby to her. No real mother would want their child to die!

That was just a few thousand years ago, and today we see the case of Terri Schiavo come before the courts here in the USA. To the court comes a man who claims to be Terri's husband. He has been wanting Terri to die for the longest time, and he lives in adulterous relationship with another woman, and has a child by her, and even another unborn. Michael Schiavo long ago stopped loving Terri. He claims to want what is best for his wife, and he calls it "death".

The real parents have petitioned for guardianship of Terri, but the courts have failed to recognize their position, which is simply one of love of a real parent for their child. This is something that is God-given.

Those in our courts are not as wise as King Solomon, and they have not allowed the real love to come to play in this case. Terri has been denied rehabiltation, even though she won a law suit that should have adquately provided her a chance to improve her life. Terri is now on medicare, with Michale leaving Terri as a burden to the state, while this so called "husband" has seemingly squandered almost all of the funds trying to kill her legally. Very little money is left.

I ask God in heaven to please provide us someone in the courts with the wisdom of King Solomon who cares about life and love. It is my greatest hope that in this case that life and love will prevail. I ask God to not allow evil and death to reign in our courts and in the life of Terri Schiavo, for we will all suffer for this.

Once I was comotose, and the doctor said that I would not live, but I did, and here I am. It was the patient love of my mother that pulled me through, and even when I could not talk, I knew her voice and trusted it. My doctor said that my mother was taking better care of me than any hospital ever could, and he allowed me to stay at home. May God be with Terri and her parents, and guide and protect them from all harm and the evil that surrounds them. May they be delivered from it.
