"In his order denying the motion, Greer writes that the group's arguments are philosophical and perhaps should be directed to state lawmakers.

Hmmmmmmm, isn't that Terri's Law in 2003?"

Good find, Thanks.

This, Judge Greer's own words, may be important to bring up in the defense of Terri's law.

WOW!!!

In his order denying the motion, Greer writes that "the group's arguments are philosophical and perhaps should be directed to state lawmakers. "

I am sending this on to ACLJ and Anderson. I think this statement says a lot.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that more will be said to the viewing public throughout the week on behalf of this mother's child. Draw many more people than usual to see and hear .. give strength and encouragement to Terri's family as they answer questions and make statements .. convict those who will interview with a deep desire to prepare .. put before them information that is true and accurate .. give them discernment to know what is true and what is false .. bring them to Terri's side, I pray, dear Lord.

Continue to guide the work of our hands, whether here or within Terri's legal team, encourage those who stand vigil, undergird any and all who seek the release from the horror that now surrounds this mother's child. Thank You, O God, for the internet and the fax and the phone and for those who have the knowledge to organize and motivate with a call to action. Thank You that these things are blessed by You when in the hands of those who seek to do righteously.

Father God, we wait with longing for the day when Terri will be released back into the loving care of her family .. we long for her to come under the loving instruction and encouragement of rehabilitation .. we seek to know that Terri has been released from a speechless prison .. we seek a life that feels sun and rain and expresses that joy. May it be thus, Lord .. heed the prayers of thousands and thousands as we continually come before the Throne of Grace on behalf of this beloved daughter and sister.

In obedience, Lord, I pray that You would soften the hearts of those who seek to end her life ... most directly, her husband and his attorneys. May the Power of the Holy Spirit pierce their hearts .. may they repent while there is still time. And may it be so for all those involved who have found it acceptable to withdraw life's basics so that another would die. We truly cannot comprehend the horror, Lord .. or understand the cruely, but we accept the presence of evil and ask that You be our Defender as we go against these dark forces in the fight for Terri's life.

Thank You, Heavenly Father, that You are with Terri wherever she is. Whisper to her things that delight her soul .. give her reason to smile .. let her draw on the love of her mom and dad and sister and brother .. hinder all attempts to keep them apart .. increase her strength, physically and spiritually .. let it be known by all that You are guarding this child, and may those who seek her life retreat in fear and trembling.

Creator God, work in the midst of all legal proceedings, we pray. Turn back the phrase "right-to-die" that clouds this nightmare. Restore and affirm again the beauty and wisdom of "right-to-life" .. "in His hand is the life of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind." Let the people see, Lord, that we couldn't have a clearer picture of the war between the forces of good and evil .. may the people rise up and demand justice for this mother's child.

We thank You for the beginning of another week .. show us the ways in which to use this time .. place before us the tasks at hand, for we seek to honor You in all that we do .. in the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
