My mother felt compelled, a calling, to read about Palm Sunday in the Bible this morning. She found something that applies directly to today:
They wanted to KILL A MAN WHO ROSE FROM THE DEAD right around Palm Sunday!
What day is this? Palm Sunday!
The desire to kill Lazarus is here:
John 12
[9] Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. [10] But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death; [11] Because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.
I believe that God has this all carefully planned. Each of us is judging whether Terri should starve to death. Some are hopeful that she might recover, perhaps even through a miracle. Others are skeptical. There's a connection here. God is speaking through the scriptures on this day.
Here are the Palm Sunday verses [same chapter]:
[12] On the next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, [13] Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Now for the other scripture she found. It is very profound when looked at with Terri in mind:
[Still in Chapter 12]
[42] Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
***
[43] For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
***
[44] Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. [45] And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. [46] I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. [47] And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
***
[48] He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
***
[49] For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. [50] And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
Also, I learned this morning that Mel Gibson called Terri's family and told them to pray. Somehow, I feel a connection to that. The Pope, Mel Gibson, and this. It all fits together.
As far as I'm concerned, God offered His 2 cents' worth. I believe that there is strong reason to believe she can recover if hope and caring wins over skepticism and neglect. A glimpse of God's Great Design is revealed here.
FReegards....
[11] And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
[12] How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
Maybe I am weird but I belive the end times are in our future.
VERY NEAR future.
Here's another pc of the puzzle, and listen to your Holy Spirit inside.
St. Lucia just died on Feb 13, 2005....Many had said that when she dies the 3rd secret of Fatima is not far behind her death, in other words...soon after, but before that a event must happen (A test), but it's HARD to decipher that test of mercy & love.....
I think and yes call me weird(I don't care-at my old age)
this test is happening right now(Clearwater,Washington,and the World, and the ALL the church(es),etc...
Clearwater, Florida is the place of this test, I believe.
[44] Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. [45] And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. [46] I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. [47] And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
[48] He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Well if they manage to murder Terry by starvation. NO charity will get a penny from me to feed starving people. Where are the so called compassionate, caring people that think it is a crime that America doesn't feed the entire world. Yet will stand by while a cold, adulterous man starves his wife to death.
It's almost as though some of the mist has drifted aside just long enough to see things few in a century ever have a chance to glimpse.
Based on my studies of Revelation, a lot of good needs to happen before the Tribulation. The scripture must be preached throughout the world, and Baghdad or Babylon need to become Sin Capitol of the World, Party Town. I don't think either of those things have occurred yet, but it's easy to foresee them occurring as things stand today.
Signs and events are weaving together. FReegards....
We are fortunate to live in these in these times. How much farther can technology go? In the end times knowledge will be great and avaiable to everyone. My hubby thinks the internet is the anti-christ and he won't go near the puterlol.
I understand your outrage. I had similar thoughts when we were nitpicked about Tidal Wave / Tseunami Relief.
Never hurts to offer people a few saltines.
....while I am sure he knows it, this is confirmation to GOD who his true followers are!!!!
Excellent point.
The book of Daniel predicts that knowledge and travel will increase. Have they? You bet they have. That prediction was a miracle in itself. How far will they increase? No one knows. My belief is that the internet will be the main vehicle to spread God's Word throughout the world. [Knowledge and that scripture are linked.]
FReegards....
I have been feeling so useless. But now I am asking everyone I know to pray for Terri. I went to the gym and asked some friends today. Yesterday I went to the Off Track and got some more people I know to pray. I also left a message on the horseracing website I go to.
I don't feels so useless now.
"He is testing us. Are you up to the test?"
As individuals, each of us knows what side we are on. We are watching the wheat and chaff separated before our very eyes.
"I agree that there are more important matters to deal with, and you will find that the Party of Death is attempting to block all that progress: school choice, defunding the NEA, ANWR, an out-of-control court [which could also be the Court of Death'], freedom of speech, et cetera ad nauseum. That's the fundamental difference between the Left and the Right.
In short: Those who tend to treasure life also tend to treasure freedom." [and vice versa].

This is what the beltway doesn't understand: Christian Conservative 'single issue voters', [people who take infanticide seriously] have been put down all these years. And yet, they have been right all along. It's time people to begin to realise this. People who stand on the side death make much more dangerous leaders. Wrong at the most basic level, they have no foundation.
"....while I am sure he knows it, this is confirmation to GOD who his true followers are!!!!"
He not only knows it, He planned it. FReegards....
"I have been feeling so useless."
That's how they want you to feel. This might help you feel even more empowered, from the debate I've been quoting:
"Away with this issue you should put. Concentrate on more practical matters at hand if you can."
"I kept telling myself that. There's only so much time in the day, and I've placed this issue on the back burner for many months. But sometimes, people rally. Remember those coal miners stuck in that shaft? This is a moment like that. This mine shaft is much, much deeper. The prospects are much more bleak. Perhaps the rescue workers' time would be better spent elsewhere, but you don't realize that you are asking us to kill something inside us-- our soul."
Don't eat a bite of food, and don't drink a drop of water for the next three weeks, just putting your fate in God's hands. Oh, why not just shoot a bullet into your brain--God will take care of you, don't you know?
If your sophistry about "putting her fate in God's hands" were to be accepted, you would have defined the crime of murder out of existence.
Denying a woman food and water until she dies of starvation is not "putting her fate in God's hands." It is murder.
Get the difference?
Yes, after 14 years, cpr should be halted and the soul given to God.
How about no CPR during the initial collapse?
THE 'VAST LIFE-WING CONSPIRACY' AGAINST MICHAEL SCHIAVO [FR Link page]
Broken bones, signs of strangulation, No CPR administered, the cremation outrage, and more....
....I am sure that is true!
