Feast of St. Teresa of Avila...Pray for Terri Schiavo

From WorldNetDaily: Terri Schiavo wants to live:



"Terri Schindler-Schiavo does not want to die. She would like to go home. And she tried to convey this to her father in no uncertain terms by sitting bolt upright and trying to get out of her chair when told she might be killed, her family has revealed.



The stunning news was released yesterday afternoon by Terri's father, Robert Schindler, at the 'round-the-clock vigil outside the Woodside Hospice facility in Pinellas Park, Fla., where his daughter's court-ordered death by starvation is scheduled to begin today at 2 p.m. Eastern. At that time, her husband and legal guardian Michael Schiavo is scheduled to give the order to disconnect the 39-year-old brain-disabled woman's feeding tube that has provided her with sustenance for the past 13 years.



In an interview a few hours earlier, Schindler described the incident to WorldNetDaily. He said he was holding a cell phone to Terri's ear as she listened intently to the speaker, propped in her jerry-chair at about a 30-degree angle. Suddenly she sat up straight and tried to get out of her chair, despite her weak legs and muscles that were slack from lack of exercise.



His daughter's response stunned Schindler, who grabbed the phone and asked, 'My God, what did you tell her?'



The speaker said he had warned, 'If you don't get up and get out of there, you're going to die there.' "

Voice was stronger but he still struggled.

Kudos to Fox News

Hannity and Combs did a piece on Terri Schiavo last night. They had Terri's father and the husband's lawyer. In my mind this is why Fox continues to rise while the other news agencies continue to slip. While the others are doing round the clock stories about the story du jour (Kolbe Bryant today), they are actually expanding their scope to the real news that is out there.



The questions were good, although I thought more should have been made out of the husband living with a woman who has fathered two children by him. The lawyer's claim that the husband was the one who really loved his wife and was seeing to it that she was allowed to die rang hollow.



Pray for Terri and pray that the husband will have a conversion to just allow her to be taken care of by her parents.

Shame on Alou, Shame on Fox Sports, Shame on Stuart Scott

All of the above made a fan, who was one among many grabbing for a foul ball, in the eighth inning of last night's National Leauge Championship Game, the scapegoat for what happened later in that inning. What a crock! The fan had nothing to do with the Cubs loss, I repeat nothing! The score was 3-0 before the fan touched the ball, it was still 3-0 after the interference. The pitcher Mark Prior could still have struck out Alex Gonzalez, but instead he walked him--so you could blame him. But the real culprit, if I were a Cubs fan would have been the Cubs SS who committed an incredibly costly error--that could have ended the inning with the Cubs still leading the game. He gets paid to play the game, his play did result directly in the Marlins ultimately winning the game, so why isn't he being made the real "goat" of the game?



If anything happens to the fan who interferred with the game, someone who has probably been a Cubs fan all of their lives, criminal charges should be brought against all those who have made him out to be the reason the Cubs lost last night. The disgrace of making a paying fan the excuse for losing is reason enough in my mind why the Cubs have no place winning not last night or any night.



I am a Marlins fan, btw.
