Tonight it is, March 22, 2005, over five days since Theresa Marie Schiavo commenced her ordeal of purposeful and legally sanctioned dehydration and starvation. We await a decision from the three judge panel from Eleventh Judicial Circuit as to her fate, as her family struggles with seeing Terri's physical health deteriorate.
Beautiful prayer. Amen.
Right now they are just wasting time recognizing people in the gallery. Let's cut to the chase Senators!!! My new prayer is that the Senate will act with HASTE.......
Amen, Cindy.
Thank you so much, valleygal for all you have done. God in Heaven, please look down upon the good work valleygirl has done and grant her success in her efforts to save terri Schaivo. I ask this in Jesus' name.

Til today there would be live footage from the hospice, I think the cops must have asked they stop it in case we see something unlawful happen.
Give all those who are speaking out for Terri, wherever they are, all wisdom, knowledge, discernment, and strength, continued strength and conviction to give their words wings. Give them, also, peace, comfort, and all they need to sustain them through this tough battle. Bring in new strong warriors, those with a complementing perspective, to speak out for Terri, especially within the community.
We pray from the position of strength that we have in Your Son, Jesus Christ, and in His Name, and in Whom we REJOICE, against all odds, for we know that the very gates of hell do not prevail against Him -- Amen.
Two Marys: (meditation and a prayer)
How thick the crowd must have seemed,
Mary of Nazareth,
as you threaded your way
in that numbing timelessness
that comes with crisis,
each second seeming to last minutes,
your son,
your son,
his beautiful face,
swollen,
bleeding, battered,
breaking your heart.
How much you must have wanted to scream
NONONONONO!
Don't let this be today,
now,
at this moment,
ever,
even though you knew he was given to you
for just this purpose,
and the sword you felt
had been fortold long ago.
How hard it must have been
not to throw yourself at the guards,
to some how get them to stop,
to let him rest,
to give him a chance
to change his mind
and make this all a nightmare.
And yet, you merely told God
Your will be done,
and continued on,
giving all you had
until the end
and darkness fell.
Another Mary
loves her daughter,
so at risk
from the hands of those who would say
she has no rights,
no mind,
no heart,
no love.
And yet,
she has seen her smile
and touched her face,
and tried, o so hard.
and yet now, she watches the smile fade to dust,
because of the cruelty of man.
O Jesus, remember all mothers
forced to watch
the deaths of their children
at another's hand,
and have mercy on them.
Open the doors for Terri,
who you have made the living martyr
a witness against those
who would cheapen the gift of life,
and hold both Terri and her family close to your heart.
Amen.
Because Churchillbuff posted to me on this thread on a legal aspect of the case. I regret that you find the content of my posts on this thread offensive to you. My best suggestion is for you to just put me on bozo filter, and not read my posts.
Amen and Amen.
I can't listen to the live feed at work, which may be just as well, since it sounds like it's going to be excruciating waiting for them to vote. Thanks much for the update. Please keep them coming.
Father, we pray again for our country at this time of the test set before it, and the coming judgment of our land. May the hearts of all people be opened to sincere repentance before you to seek forgiveness and no longer turn away from your will.
May your warrior angels fight alongside us and inspire us to also become warriors for your will, so that we can heal this land and make it once again worthy of your blessing. In Jesus's name, amen.
These judges are purposely, and unconstitutionally, thwarting the will of Congress, which means, in essence, that they have pitted themselves against We The People.
Amen.
Thanks for the link!!!!!!!!
No, many here have done so much more than me. I haven't done enough. I will be back in a few minutes. Praying again now that the senate is in session.
This is agony.
Little old ladies and children! Where the hell are all the men?
He is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides.
He is Jehovah Rophe, the Lord who heals.
He is Jehovah Nissi, the Lord who is victorious.
He is Jehovah M'Kaddesh, the Lord who sanctifies.
He is Jehovah Shalom, the Lord of Peace.
He is Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord of Righteousness.
He is Jehovah Shammah, the Lord who is here.
He is Jehovah Rohi, the Lord our Shepherd.
Hear the cries of Your People, O Lord our God.
I don't dare try to watch the live feed. I will pray instead.
Most Precious Heavenly Father:
You know our hearts are heavy. We thank You for the love and compassion You have given most of us. I ask that You intervene in this Terri Schiavo ordeal. Lord, be with the family and most of all Terri. I pray You will hold her body in Your arms and give her comfort and strength. You love her more than anyone, and we know You above all will hold her to the end. I ask that hearts all around the world be touched and heavy with all this process. Surround the protestors, give them Your courage to deliver water to Terri. Thank You for Your hand of Mercy. We ask that You be the final Judge and Your will be done in Terri's life. In Your precious name, I pray.
JFC
A tearful Amen to every thought and every prayer from all who love this mother's child ..
