thank you so much for posting the link to When I woke up. I knew Rus had a story but had never read it till now. I had the pleasure of meeting rus last weekend and she is a normal person from what I see. A very intelligete woman with a true fight in her heart for terri....If we could get through the legal system wouldn't it be a God Blessing if Terri could get even half as far as Rus

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that there's so much stirring in the legal realm on behalf of this mother's child. Again, Father, we are made aware of the importance of righteous rule .. without it, the people are cheated and denied .. without it, lives are disrupted and disorganized and we go from pillar to post seeking relief. Forgive us, O God, for the inaction that has allowed our judiciary to become tyrants of assumed justice. Help us, Father, to reclaim the courts, for You would have those charged with such responsibility to rule wisely and well.

Go before the defenders of Terri into the courtroom, Lord, for they are David against Goliath. They appear before the judge with so little .. without fame and without fortune, representing one disabled woman on behalf of one ordinary family. They approach the bench with truth and hope and extraordinary love, but time and time again, they are turned away. May it be different this time, Father God ... for we know that You stand with Terri's legal team .. that You are the author of the love this family has for their own .. that You, alone, hold the life of Terri in Your hand, while those who rule and petition against her, think otherwise. Continue to be her Shield and Defender, as You have these many years. Turn the smooth flow of deadly language spoken by the merchants of death into a vile display of true intent .. may the people see and understand and recoil in horror, for we are witness to a planned, national murder. Uphold those who would defend her .. sweep away those who would harm her .. may this dear child soon rejoin the warmth of her family for days yet filled with happiness.

Thank You, Heavenly Father, for the blessings You have bestowed upon those who have rallied to Terri's side .. thank You that You have worked in the highest offices in Florida to put Terri's name before the world .. thank You that You have brought alongside legal and emotional and spiritual support for this family. Give clarity and conviction to her cause .. send confusion and fear to the merchants of death. We continue to uphold all that is Terri before You, Creator God .. the One, True, Righteous Judge. Bring to us, I pray, an earthly judge who will proclaim justice for this mother's child .. for the sake of Jesus, Amen ...
