Columnist Changes His Mind on Terri Schiavo
Blogs for Terri lead me to this column by John Grogan, a Philadelphia Inquirer columnist, as he explains why he has changed his mind about the Terri Schiavo case. (You need to subscribe to read the aricle, but subscribing is free and easy.) I appreciate this author's balance. He doesn't accuse anyone, he merely evaluates the facts and finds himself wanting to err on the side of life and let those who are devoted to her care, care for her.

Florida Department of Children & Families Asks for 60 Days
Florida's DCF has asked Judge Greer for a 60-day stay on Terri's starvation and dehydration so they can have time to investigate possible abuse against Terri. They do not name a suspected abuser.
LaShawn Barber has blogged on this and leads us to a news source here.
UPDATE! They got it! (Well, some of it!) I just heard on Fox News that a stay has been issued until March 18th! Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!
Update 2: The judge's order is now available online here. (HT BlogsforTerri)

Thou Shalt Not Covet
Oh, yes I shall. It's spring over at Wittingshire, and here at Wittenberg Gate we're preparing for yet another snowstorm, due Monday, which follows the storm we had yesterday.

Yes it is good news - although the MSM have tried not to report it as such in the main. But I do hope this time will be effective in bringing the truth to the forefront. God bless you Dory.

I think the only way to save Terri is to make sure that her husband is prosecuted. There are entire lists of statutes he has broken (his lawliar needs to be prosecuted also)and yet it has been deliberately ignored by those in law enforcement. That is my conclusion after years of studying this case. (and following similar ones with a miserable death at the end) Wesly J. Smith as written some of the best articles on this subject not to mention a book or two. Pardon me for my angry language but a friend in Illinois just told me about patients in nursing homes begging for water before they went into a coma and expired and how they would not voluntarily ever work at such places ever again. If I had been working at such a place I know I would be fired for disobeying those orders and maybe punching out a supervisor or two before joining any organization who is against this. That is if they would have such an angry man who might have an arrest record. This from a guy who qualifies for a secret clearance and has worked for the government in the years past. I am a Christian and such barbarity will hopefully bring out a righteous anger that does not violate the laws of this wonderful country that I love but I am tempted at times like these. I recognize that and by God's grace will overcome.
