I agree we all must pray. Terri once said where there is life there is hope. I am a Catholic and last evening on one of the threads there was a lot of praying. I thought of St. Terese, known as the little flower of Jesus. Since she and Terri share the same name, albeit with different spellings, I looked up on the Internet Prayers to this particular St. St. Therese is associated with white roses and is said to send a white rose when a prayer is to be answered.

Last night I recited one of the prayers I found to her in addition to joining in with others here in prayer, and my own personal prayers. I finally went to bed about 1:00 am PT, only to be awakened this morning by a terrible back pain. I passed the computer on my way to get some Tylenol, and stopped to check in and see if there was any news about the judge's decision. The article had just been posted to the site with notice of his decision. Only seconds later I ran across a picture on one of the threads of a Florida Flag with a white rose superimposed on the center of the flag.

I have faith that this is not over and I know our prayers are being heard.

As an aside, I went looking for the thread so I could post a link to the flag and rose picture in this post, but couldn't find it. Perhaps some one else knows where to find it.

Look at the explosion of senseless violence in America this week: the Columbine-style murders on that Indian reservation in ND, the factory explosion where 15 people died, and in my area (Pittsburgh PA), a man walked into a school with an airgun and was shot dead by police. Sick crazy stuff...evidence that the Culture of Death in our country is alive and kicking. A spinoff of the Schiavo tragedy, IMO.
