Praise Ye the Lord!
Psalm 106:48
Praise ye the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear, Brothers and sisters, draw near;
Praise Him in glad adoration!
Praise ye the Lord, who o'er all things so wondrously reigneth,
Shelters thee under His wings, yea, so gently sustaineth!
Hast thou not seen How thy desires e'er have been
Granted in what He ordaineth?
Praise ye the Lord, who with marvelous wisdom hath made thee!
Decked thee with health, and with loving hand guided and stayed thee;
How oft in grief Hath not He brought thee relief,
Spreading His wings for to shade thee!
Praise ye the Lord! O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before Him!
Let the Amen Sound from His people again:
Gladly for aye we adore Him.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
Medical examiner: Autopsy decision not Michael Schiavo's to make
an ABC Action News report 03/30/05
http://www.tampabaylive.com/stories/2005/03/050330autopsy.shtml
PINELLAS PARK - In a surprise move earlier this week, Michael Schiavo's attorney announced that once his brain-damaged wife Terri dies, an autopsy will be done to dismiss any rumors about her condition.
"Mr. Schiavo has requested the Pinellas County medical examiner to perform an autopsy on Mrs. Schiavo. He has requested this very strongly; he believes it is important to know the full extent of damage of Mrs. Schiavo's brain," George Felos stated.
However, Action News has learned that it was not Michael Schiavo's decision to make; the medical examiner had already decided to perform the autopsy and he was surprised by Felos' statement.
"We are not doing the autopsy because of a request coming from Michael Schiavo. We are investigating the cause of death as mandated by Florida law and for no other reason. Family requests are immaterial in that determination. Our involvement is independent from the wishes of the next of kin," stated Bill Pellan, director of investigations for the Pinellas/Pasco Medical Examiner's Office.
Felos was unavailable to comment on camera, but in a written reply, he said, "We dispute that and stand by my statement. We requested an autopsy from the county medical examiner and we understand the M.E. is not bound to honor a family's request. We were informed by the me they would perform an autopsy pursuant to its statutory duty."
By Florida law, there are 12 criteria in order for the M.E.'s office to get involved. Out of the 12, potentially four apply to Terri's case: planned cremation, allegations of criminal violence, suspicious or unusual circumstance, and accidental injury.
Pellan told Action News that the M.E.'s office was not just getting involved because there was a request to cremate Terri's body. He confirmed there are other factors, but would not specify what they were; he would only say that Michael Schiavo did not object to the autopsy, and even said it may help.
Monday's announcement was something that Terri's parents had been waiting for for years. Since Terri collapsed some 15 years ago, the Schindlers have always suspected foul play.
The M.E.'s office confirmed they have received numerous e-mails and phone calls asking for an investigation, but that those also had no bearing on the decision.
Earlier this week, Michael's brother Brian said that the rumors and allegations have been tearing Michael apart.
"He cannot believe that this is being made out to be a murder. He said, 'Brian, all I am doing is doing what Terri asked me to do,' " Brian said.
The results of the autopsy, whenever Terri dies, will be made public.
It was him and many friends and family memebers who got to go in and see Terri. They basically said she looks good under the circumstances and that she is fighting to live and very alert.
OF cOURSE......FELOS FEEDS CNN!!!!!!! WE LOOK TO THEE PRECIOUS FATHER.........OH GOD I CRY out before YOU.....take Terri and all of us for RIGHTOUSNESS SAKE ACROSS THE RED SEA THIS VERY DAY.
Redeemed
Redeemed, how I love to proclaim it,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed thro' His infinite mercy,
His child, and forever, I am.
Refrain:
Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child, and forever, I am.
Redeemed and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.
I think of my blessed Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long;
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.
I know I shall see in His beauty
The King in whose law I delight;
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.
BIBLE PASSAGE:
2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
Why do that to her: lift her out of context like that? Then blast her like an angry judge? I heard her quoted as saying it is right for the government to be involved because it is a life issue. That's the first quote I heard from her statement. It is a life issue. Now you jump her with a quote that sounds like she thought it was only about privacy. It is a good thing God is judge. We don't need unfair judgement. At least we know God will be fair.
They all said she is alert and aware. Her skin looks good. What a nightmare for this good family and their friends. They all took her a single rose.....I hope they were able to take them in her room, but I doubt it.
For HE is THY health and salvation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Keep her, hold her, protect her, preserve her, save her. In Jesus name!
ATTENTION ALL FREEPERS, Here is a CALL TO ACTION coming from Hospice Woodside directly from EV. He's assessed the situation and asked me to post the following for you. PLEASE PING YOUR LISTS TO THIS POST.
1. Terri's family, the Schindlers, Bobby and Suzanne are well aware of what medical procedures should be employed to save Terri (if they ever get the opportunity). 2. Terri's family has a medical team "on hand" that knows how to handle Terri's emergency medical needs. 3. Fly in Ointment: Will Hospice again refuse the Schindler's medical team and instead use their own, rehydrate and put Terri into shock in spite of that being THE WRONG PROCEDURE AND THE WRONG TIME.
CONSITUTIONAL AUTHORITY FOR JEB BUSH: Article 1, Section 2 of the Florida Constitution. PLEASE CALL GOVERNOR BUSH... PLEASE FAX GOVERNOR BUSH...Jeb has a sworn duty NOW or he will forever have Terri's death attached to his good name.
FINALLY, - there is no time for mincing words, no more rabbit trails, Governor Bush, it is DEAD WRONG TO KILL A HELPLESS, VULNERABLE CITIZEN! Tell Jeb of our concerns that the Schindlers professional medical doctors will be denied the ability to treat Terri. She needs to be RESCUED FROM HOSPICE ASAP...
BOB SCHINDLER UPDATE ON TERRI'S CONDITION: Terri is still with us, she looks surprisingly good today, she is weak from the lack of food and hydration but her skin tone is good. Nothing is breaking down. A doctor can explain it better than I can. I am pleasantly surprised at what I saw, encouraged. It's not too late. THERE ARE SOME RUMORS OUT THERE ABOUT TERRI THAT ARE VERY NEGATIVE BUT WE WERE THERE, WE SAW HER AND I SAY SHE IS WEAKENING BUT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN I EXPECTED. She's very much awake (Judy Bader). Terri is very much awake. She's still trying to track people with her eyes. She's still there. It's very hard but she's trying to stay alive. We just need to help her.
Betty Hughes: Terri's skin tone and skin was good. We were with her, she was with us.
Sherry Payne: I went in to see Terri. She looked right up at me like the other night. Her skin tone is wonderful. She appears strong, getting weaker and if she just had a little water, I'm sure she would be fine.
Another friend of Bobby Schindler speaking now.
SO, THEY ALL SAY SHE LOOKS OKAY. They are pleasantly surprised.
THE POWER OF PRAYER.. BUT PLEASE CONTACT GOVERNOR BUSH... PLEASE.
Finally, Monsignor Malanowski held a presser. HE CANNOT GIVE TERRI HOLY COMMUNION OR HE WILL BE ARRESTED.
Thanks, FV
Father God
You said to seek You in times of trouble that you would be quick to save. Lord, the dogs have microphones , they call to align all forces against YOU'RE creation. They seek to destroy your gifts of Life. We are seeking you Father and asking YOU to stop them, please shut their gapping mouths, cause their voices to be null and void, bind them with their own spirits of confusion. In Jesus name, please deliver Terri and to you be ALL GLORY AND HONOR FOREVER.
Halls -
I posted this a little while ago over on Terri's prayer thread. Maybe it will help you:
Since we believe that Scripture is the inspired Word of God, and that He speaks directly to us, I believe that He has told us that He will save Terri. Here are just a few of the promises He has made:
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters. He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but the LORD was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me. As for God, his way is perfect; THE WORD OF THE LORD IS FLAWLESS. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God? Psalm 18:16-19; 30-31
I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. MANY WILL SEE AND FEAR AND PUT THEIR TRUST IN THE LORD. Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. Psalm 40:1-4
Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. But you, O God, will bring down the wicked into the pit of corruption; bloodthirsty and deceitful men will not live out half their days. But as for me, I trust in you. Psalm 55:22-23
The salvation of the righteous comes from the LORD; he is their stronghold in time of trouble. The LORD helps them and delivers them; he delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in him. Psalm 37:39-40
But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless. Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; call him to account for his wickedness that would not be found out. Psalm 10:14-15
And finally:
"Because of the oppression of the weak and the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says the LORD. "I will protect them from those who malign them." AND THE WORDS OF THE LORD ARE FLAWLESS, LIKE SILVER REFINED IN A FURNACE OF CLAY, PURIFIED SEVEN TIMES. O LORD, you will keep us safe and protect us from such people forever. Psalm 12:5-7
Ever since the fall of 2003, I have felt very strongly that the words of the Psalms described Terri's situation very clearly. I also am convinced that the Lord has given us His answer in the Psalms. I believe that He will rescue Terri, and not only that, that the crimes against her **will** be found out and punished! We just need to keep believing and praying and trusting in the Lord. He has sustained her thus far, and will continue to until she is rescued!
Oh Pilgrim, you love the same hymns as me!!! I am sitting here singing at the top of my lungs. Even my cat woke up and came over to the computer and stared at me!!!!!

That is beautiful!
Polly...I'm sitting here so overwhelmed....I know my Redeemer livth!!! He is able to do above all we can ever ask or think!!!
We have to keep our mind on this and no negative!

I am so shaken and awed by sensing the goodness of the Lord!
