I think those of us who care and who have been here fighting are tired, discouraged, frazzled and a little quick on the trigger...myself included.. I'm trying to work on that in myself.. not always successful.. I think it's important to weed the small disagreements from the intruders and disruptors..
O Lord,
Give those here
strength,
patience,
fortitude,
calm and peace,
who have worked, and cared, feared and hoped
and tried so hard to do what you led them to
for Terri
and those who are weak and vunerable,
in your name,
for your glory,
because you bid them
care for the least of your children.
Whatever happens,
hold them close
secured in the palm of your hand.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
I want to thank all of you who responded to my heartfelt concerns. You all offered such insightful comments and Hamilton, I can understand your concerns. It's a very uneasy thought to think that perhaps things are, well, not what we may have originally thought. Time will tell all things.
Awestruck, blessed are the peacemakers. You are a peacemaker with spine to tell the truth and I admire that.
PC93, thanks so much for your organization of contact information and alerts here.
Graymatter, I've passed along some of your thoughts to a friend of mine and she wanted me to thank you, so there's no time like the present. ;o)

He could be in front of the nation dispelling each and every lie the media has put forth to the American public. He could be telling the world Terri's side. He could be denouncing Greer, hino, and Felos. But no, he's eating dinner right now with his family behind the closed doors of the most powerful house in Florida - make that the second most powerful with the first being the Greer Reaper's courtroom."
That is something I had not thought about at all. Yes, you're right. What an example it would set if both the president and the governor were more actively making statements in support of life. If they truly are prolife then it seems this would be a perfect opportunity to influence people for good. But instead there's an eery silence (overall) that creates tension for us all.
Type_Fists (sorry, can't recall exact spelling) - the fact that there are both Republicans and Democrats failing to feel empathy for this innocent dehydrating woman is telling. Do you know if Zell Miller has commented on this yet? I will say for the record that while I will be leaving the Republican party over this, I would never touch the Democrat because their platform openly states they are not prolife. Maybe they're more honest than some Republicans?
