*Michael, HAVE A HEART !!!!!For Valentines Day give Terri back to her MOM & DAD, The Schindlers!!!!!!!!*

The Terri Schindler Schiavo Daily Threads are created month to month as we watch local and national news regarding Terri and her family.

Since Terri's supporters are in every time zone, you may see something FIRST. Please share news with us that you don't see here already. Now, why would you want to do that? Terri's Daily Thread for September/October of 2004 was viewed over 15,000 times. Terri's November Daily Thread was viewed over 6,000 times. December's thread is over 3,000 views. January 2005 Daily Thread was a RECORD HIGH!!!!!!! 15, 103 VIEWS!!!!!!

More and more good folks are finding out about Terri and that judicial tyranny would take her life, but for lots and lots of prayer and non-stop lobbying of relatives, friends, clergy, our leaders, the media, a passerby, a cashier - ANYONE who you feel comfortable chatting with.

Folks always want to know how can this be in America or on earth for that matter? Unfortunately, this is really happening to an innocent woman who just celebrated her 41st birthday. She's not the only one but she's the one with devoted parents and siblings who knows what's in Terri's heart. Terri has a strong will to live. That's apparent. It's been 14 years.

Besides, feeding tubes have been around practically since the Civil War. They are not high tech devices. Terri is "not hooked up to machines". Her feeding tube is the diameter of a piece of spaghetti.

Talkin' about Terri is the best way to lobby for her. It is a salespitch to save her life and subsequently, many lives. If you've never sold anything in your life, START NOW. START WITH TERRI.

See Terri's flash movies if you need more information. You can see for yourself that's she's interactive and follows the doctor's instructions.

AGAIN WE HAVE A NEW RECORD: 15,103 views on the tote board for the Terri Schindler Schiavo January Daily Thread!

The most significant event in Terri's case in January, was the Supreme's Courts refusal to hear Governor Jeb Bush's appeal, after the Florida State Legislature struck down Terri's Law. This once again places Terri's life in extreme jeopardy, though there are other issues regarding her case before the court.

This is an example of the sheer naievete to be polite of the people of Clearwater, FL.

Thank You, God, for this beautiful new day. We pray for Your blessings on those who are working for Terri and the Schindler family -- that they have every good thing they need to do their jobs effectively for Terri, for You! Thank You for the prayers, the needs we've seen answered . . . we praise you for Your faithfulness. You are truly an awesome, loving Abba Father, Provider of all we need, El Shaddai.

And Father, please be with us today to be faithful to our responsibilities and to what You give us to do, with all energy, strength, enthusiasm, and goodness. We put Terri in Your hands, dear Father, where indeed she has been all these years. Continue to guard and protect her. You know the pain we feel, and we give that also to You, for You love us, You know us, and we pray to walk closer to You day by day . . . for that, in the end, is what we get out of this experience, relying more on You for everything for we cannot do this ourselves.

There are so many people and troubles on our minds, on our hearts, and we thank You that we can turn these over to You, our Abba Father. In Jesus Name, Amen

The battle belongs to the Lord . . .
And we sing Glory, Honor, Power and Strength to the Lord!

[Theodore R.]

Is Michael R. Schiavo trying to block the state agency from coming to the hospice to examine Terri? Can this popular Clearwater nurse, armed with a civil court death sentence, override the whole executive branch of FL?

THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD

In heavenly armour we'll enter the land
The battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that's fashioned against us shall stand
The battle belongs to the Lord

We sing glory and honor
Power and strength to the Lord
We sing glory and honor
Power and strength to the Lord

The power of darkness comes in like a flood
The battle belongs to the Lord
He's raised up a standard, the power of His blood
The battle belongs to the Lord

When your enemy presses in hard do not fear
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend, your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord

Hi, fv, amdg, phenn, others -- Thank you, dear ones, for all the work you are doing so faithfully there. I pray that you rested well last night and are waking up today refreshed, knowing that God is over all, and this remains where it has been all along: in His hands. Love and hugs to you all and others there.

HI SCHINDLER FAMILY!! Love and prayers continue, as well as emails, calls, and letters that we see to do.

Hi, Theodore -- I'm not sure how that's playing out, will look forward to hearing from those there. Praying for good outcomes early on! :o)

For sure, this is a very public battle, and any resistance will now expose that Michael is perhaps not the concerned guardian he's been portrayed as.

Here is a possible avenue -- as we've prayed for openmindedness and willingness to SEE fresh, look at this:

John Grogan | Second thoughts on Terri Schiavo | 2/25/05
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1350930/posts

His column begins, "Sometimes even newspaper columnists change their minds.. . . "

WND 2/26: Philly columnist (John Grogan) changes mind on Terri Schiavo

A Philadelphia Inquirer columnist who believes in the "right to die" has changed his mind about the Terri Schiavo case, pointing to "uncomfortable details" about her estranged husband that now lead him to side with the parents of the brain-damaged Florida woman, who are fighting to keep her alive.

John Grogan said in a column published today, "I no longer so blithely believe Schiavo's feeding tubes should be pulled and her life allowed to end. I'm no longer so sure her parents do not deserve a say in their daughter's future. I no longer am totally comfortable assuming her husband, Michael, who now has two children by another woman, is acting unselfishly."

Michael Schiavo has been living with his fiance Jodi Centonze since 1995 and has said he will marry her upon the death of his wife.

Grogan said he hasn't changed his opinion that everyone has a right to "die with dignity," but he believes that in the Schiavo case, the "devil is in the details, uncomfortable details that raise sticky moral dilemmas."

Terri Schiavo suffered severe brain damage in 1990 after collapsing. Michael Schiavo attributes it to a chemical imbalance caused by an eating disorder, but parents Robert and Mary Schindler believe he may have tried to strangle her.

Michael Schiavo contends his wife told him she never would want to be kept alive artificially.

But Grogan points out Terri Schiavo's heart and lungs function on their own, and she requires only a feeding tube that might not be necessary if she were given physical therapy.

The columnist notes Michael Schiavo, as her legal guardian, has forbidden any therapy.

Are you only asking a question, or are you leveling an accusation at the same time, that such is currently underway? I only know what David Gibbs said: that there is to be a hearing re the DCF investigation into charges of abuse/neglect of Terri THIS WEEK, and that he is confident the truth will come out. He did not predicate his confidence on getting the permission of Michael to see Terri. I have no idea what this hearing will consist of, but I look forward to finding out.

Petiton Online won't allow changes once petitions have been posted. It was anticipated that the petition would quickly gather sigs but that has not been the case. If it doesn't get a lot of sigs before March 8 when the legislature convenes I wonder if it ever will. It has picked up about 1000 in the past week so that is good.

What's the consensus here? Get it to the present House Speaker on Mar 8 regardless of the amount of sigs or let it keep going?

Unless it gets a lot of exposure it's going to creep along.

I just tried to get it and the page is temporarily down for an upgrade....

Hollywood does not represent America. If it did, the map of the U.S., county by county, would not be almost entirely RED after the election. The Passion of the Christ would not have broken all those records. Notice Hollywood completely shut out that movie. How ridiculous of Hollywood to do that.

I agree with you there is a war going on about Euthanasia, and about killing people who are not dying and can function with help. We do need everyone in this war.

At the same time, in my post last night, addressed to ALL OF "TERRI'S ANGELS", I said the religious aspect of this IS what it IS, and that I do not know what to do about the dilemma, or contradiction, that you have presented. People will participate in this in ways they believe in, and will not be controlled by someone calling the shots on how they express themselves, IMO.

The big picture is that God's work on earth can accomplish mighty things, with or without the more secular people getting on board or fully understanding a cause. You see A big picture in your mind; others might see A big picture in their minds. Rather than one person claiming THE one and only big picture, might we NOT agree that only God himself has THAT?

"As I recall, you were the one who created the problem initially by stating you would post without permission. You're all on your own."

I just read your post. I know which poster did and it was an innocent remark by someone who has helped Terri for years. I never said that!!!!!!!!

[tutstar]

Probably so, The Advocacy Center for Disabled didn't complete their query because MS wouldn't give them access to Terri.

Greer along with Nagatani thwarted the first DCF investigation.

What's new?

I have hope this investigation will produce results regardless of Greer, Felos, MS & gang.

I often wonder if Greer is just in way too deep and he gave 3 wks knowing that DCF might take protective custody of Terri thus relieving him of any authority at least temporarily. Stop loss, cut bait and run, get while the gettins good. Of course, speculation on my part but after reading all the goods that TEJ has dug up it wouldn't surprise me a bit.

[Theodore R.]

Does DCF have the authority to take protective custody if the case is under the "watchful care" of a judge?

[Theodore R.]

Thank you. That is what I wanted to know: whether Schiavo could block the DCF probe as he has done in the past.

[Pegita]

And may I say, txrangerette, that not only are we are in a struggle for Terri's right to life, but her right to worship ... both denied by the husband from hell. We cannot stand in the way of others who simply exercise those same rights. I'm in agreement with you ... God will separate the wheat from the chaff. Our job is to work at the tasks set before us ... He'll do the rest. Our concern is to be faithful to the tasks and trust Him for the results. May the Lord give us a spirit of unity, even in disagreement ... may we set aside those issues which are not life-threatening so that we can work, as the Lord directs, on those issues that are.

" I no longer am totally comfortable assuming her husband, Michael, who now has two children by another woman, is acting unselfishly."

Dontcha love it?! . . . and prayers continue that in the same way this became clear to this columnist, that it will to more and more people. Especially in the St. Pete area. They're the ones who knew her years ago (90-91-92) getting out in her wheelchair, a real person.

"Why don't you walk away, Michael? Just walk away . . ." Larry King, at the end of his interview w/Michael Schiavo, 10/'03. Please, Michael. . . please.

[cyn]

ooooohhhhh, hehe, good question, good point. wow. the implications. . .

[txrangerette]

I don't know if he can try to keep them from Terri right now. I only know there has already been work done on an investigation with or without Michael blocking current access, because Gibbs announced in his TV interviews that there is to be a hearing on what DCF has, it is to happen this week, and he believes the truth will be made clear. I await further developments.

check www.theempirejournal.com We just gave it a lot of exposure

Cyn-I read somewhere herein that the Schindler's attn, Mr. Gibbs, mentioned something about a hearing this week regarding the abuse charges.

How can we find out when this is to take place?

We need to pray for those in the media reporting on this story. Especially those who send out press reports to the AP and Reuters. We need to ask our Father to put wings of fire on the truth and to shut down anything untruthful, exposing the BIG LIE Michael and Felos have perpetuated in their lust to see Terri starved and dehydrated. And we need to pray that people of conscience and knowledge surround the weak slave of Felos, one Judge Greer, and direct him towards justice, FOR ONCE, in his decisions regarding Terri.

And don't you think it would be terrific to start a movement to DEMAND that Judge Greer actually VISIT Terri? With the Schindler's present?

My guess is Terri suffers greatly when Michael Shiavo and his concubine, Jodi, the woman (mistress) who has helped that monster trash his marriage vows, haunt her room with their vile and filthy selves.....I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE DAY WHE THOSE MONSTERS NEVER HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING NEAR TERRI.
