Judge George Greer ruled that the State of Florida has no right to take custody of Terri Schiavo, which ruling came hours after an appeal by Terri's parents to re-insert the feeding tube was refused by the U.S. Supreme Court.
Meanwhile, another hearing was scheduled tonight before US District Judge James D. Whittemore .. the same judge who previously heard and denied the request subsequent to the 'de novo' intention of the law past last weekend by the Congress and signed by President Bush, in an effort to confirm that no stone was left unturned before Terri would endure legally sanctioned dehydration until death.
Let the Angels of Mercy gather round her deathbed, ministering to her with spiritual food and drink that sustains her ... let her neither hunger nor thirst for sustenance long denied, but refresh her body and soul with the banquet delights prepared for her. Although around her rages the fiercest of battles, may her spirit be calm, for the Lord of Hosts has his hand upon this wounded woman.
We cannot fathom the agony of her family ... the mother and father who tended her from birth ... a sister and brother who rejoiced through the years ... those who love her most separated from her by the one who hates them most. In these most desperate of hours, O Lord, overpower them with the Comfort of Your Presence, for the thought of this beloved child being lost from their sight forever is unbearable. At the whim of one who promised to love and protect her, she will be no more. May the prayers of a nation's mothers and fathers surround them this night, that they might be sustained. May the prayers of brothers and sisters hold them close, for the family of man is grieved.
We are reduced to nothingness before You, O God, for we have utterly failed in protecting those who need our protection most. Even in our failure, we pray that You would extend Your mercy over us and change the hearts of those who have sought her death. Pierce the hearts of the Merchants of Death, for You are not willing that any should perish. Snatch from their vicious grasp the prize they have long sought. We contend over this precious lamb, O God, and we weep that we are so close to defeat. We long have prayed for that one Judge who will render justice long denied ... the hour grows late for his appearing; nevertheless, we continue to pray for one who will rule wisely and well. Take note, Righteous Judge, of those whose hands are bright red with the blood of this innocent ... let them not escape, but may they be hounded with the same fierceness that Terri has been hounded these many years. Cause us to cleanse the courts with the same righteous anger that You cleansed the temple. Help us to scatter the silver and gold that has bought the life of this mother's child.
We are empty and alone, O God, and our beloved Terri lies at the doorway of Eternity. Would that we could have her back ... would that her mother could cradle her once more. Into Your hands we commend this innocent lamb ... this mother's child, our beloved friend. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow her all the days of her life, and she will dwell in the House of the Lord, forever. Amen ...
Causing trouble? Just having fun? SLAP HAPPY? :)
Me? Causing trouble? Heck no! :)
Good news, I guess, I just heard a doctor say that if Terri's kidneys get damaged before she gets rehydrated that it they could bounce back (that is if she gets hydrated soon!). So let's pray for Terri's organs to stay in tact as we wait hopefully for someone to rule that the tubes and hydration are reinserted.
There's a verse in Romans (I'm so bad with remembering the citation part) but in essence it talks about Jesus interpreting our groans in intercession to the Father. This heaviness is something I've never experienced.
I pray for her parents and brother and sister to be sustained as well. You see her sister with her husband and daughter, does the brother have other family?
I was able to talk to a secretary in Jeb's office. Among other things, I told her that I had read of the Thomas More Law Center, and I knew that Jeb had the power and authority to save Terri. The lady didn't take my name. I also e-mailed Jeb (Thursday), and a similar message by fax finally went through today sometime (they had the fax line off the hook, I'm sure).
The powers that be (DCF, Jeb Bush, etc.) have the authority and the power to save Terri, but it's lookng TO ME like they're all trying to give the *appearance* of doing something but in actuality, no one seems willing to do much more than cover his own @$$. Just my impression.
The DCF knows they don't need Greer's permission to save Terri; so does Jeb. The higher courts deliberately ignored Congress's law. Thomas Sowell, on Townhall.com, has had a couple of very good columns on Terri's case.
TheEmpireJournal.com has had some VERY hard-hitting columns, and there are a couple of more ideas there for saving Terri. You guys are great.
Bottom line... the folks who are allegedly for saving Terri, and who have the power to go in and do something, *know* what the right thing is to do. I'm still hoping faintly hoping to see some action, but I know it's getting close to the end for Terri.
Amen, Pegita....
To God be the glory, great things He has done!!!
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son ...
Let's turn off the lights for the night.
All of us.
To bed.
Yes, BSF....even YOU, you stinker!!!! :)
Seriously, everyone...we're all going to get sick if we keep these silly hours.
Remember what this weekend is all about, don't let the enemy take from us, what our Lord has given TO us.
Sleep well everyone.
sorry, kinda fell asleep at the keyboard
ssaaaaaaavvvdddbyyyyyfthh
Nope. Doesn't work.
Yes ma'am! Good night and God Bless!
Yes, maybe this will be the Lord's way to show people that you cannot put your trust in man, because only the Lord will come through for you in the end. I am truly believing that Jesus will rescue her, our prayers are going to help her and I am looking forward to Easter Sunday.
The more I see that picture, the more I like it.
I can almost hear him saying to the Death Culture, "GET OUT! Go over THERE! NOW! Yes, I mean YOU! Then get down that long flight of steps. MOVE IT!"
I submitted a tip on their e-mail form. Let's see if anything comes of this.
That's how Judge Greer works? He's in contempt of congress, he put a restraining order on Jeb Bush and DCF to turn the ambulance around that was en route and now he's suspicious of Barbara Weller. A declaration is STILL A DECLARATION.
I'll call the Judiciary Committee again on Monday and remind them that I called them about this last week and CITIZENS ARE WORKING TOWARDS IMPEACHMENT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE SWAMP JUDGE. We are making progress in that regard. FV
that was probably Michael. He works as a nurse for the Sheriff's Dept.
