Pray for Terri to survive until (at least) Tuesday. Don't you think that without the will to live she would have been gone years ago?

I rarely cry, but when I knelt at the altar today in church to pray for Terri I did. Boy, God's really hit a nerve in me with her story. He's really laid her all on my heart. Occasionally during the day I catch myself just crying out to him -- INTERVENE...INTERVENE...INTERVENE! Rarely do I get hit so hard by anything. I have the normal concerns and do have many burdens -- but boy, the Lord really smacked me in the face with this one.

I think the reason Terri has touched all our hearts is that we are able to empathize with the situation. The helplessness of Terri and her family is profoundly felt and the responsibility of trying to DO something is readily accepted.

Your care and concern for Terri are reflected in the work you've done on this thread, Kimmie. So much prayer and goodwill being sent in her direction is bound to have positive results!

Prayers for Terri and for you, too.

You've just said how I've been feeling about Terri, too! I'm so thankful that God has brought so many people together on behalf of Terri and her family. Someone mentioned in another post much earlier how our prayers are like incense raising up to the Lord. That is truly what this feels like to me, and I know God is watching and is smiling. But He wants us to keep going and not give up because this is just too important! Those of you who are doing all this wonderful investigating and petitioning,etc. are doing a GREAT job! My hat's off to you, 'cause you obviously have skills that I don't! God bless FReepers and God bless the Schindlers!
