Father, if he is not saved...we stand in agreement that he receive the gift of salvation soon. Father we thank You for the salvation of Michael Schiavo. We pray Lord that You soften his heart. Someone told me that he is living in the hospice and staying with Terri around the clock. Father, we pray that Terri is able to touch his heart and stir something up inside of him. We lift him up before You in prayer and ask for You to pour out your anointing in the room where he is right now. We pray Lord that You move quicky. Show him that we don't hate him. Show him that we love him too. Father, please give Michael a sign of hope. I pray this in Jesus name...amen

Dear Lord, we continue to pray and hope for a miracle.
We know it could be by a quick change of heart in Michael or the immediate realization by Judge Greer of some flaw that has happened in the ruling that Terri not be allowed water and food. We don't know just how to pray for Michael and Judge Greer, except to ask You to give direction here. We pray (possibly aided by backgrounds in Lutheran and Baptist churches respectively) that each has a personal relationship with You in accordance with Biblical teachings by faith through Jesus Christ -- with full assurance of salvation and sincere desire to please You.
Could it be that Congress enforces the subpoenas issued? We pray for all who have authority regarding this -- that those who know You are seeking divine guidance and that You get glory. Thank You for the action that was taken. Please do not allow it to have been to no avail.
If there is something Governor Bush or President Bush does have authority to do, please let him know beyond a doubt and have the courage to act. We thank You that they are not in agreement for Terri's being dehydrated and starved to death.
We pray for Terri and her family in this unbelievable experience.
In the mighty name of Jesus our Saviour, Amen.

KJV Romans 8:26 "...We know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. ~ Thank You, Lord. ~

"....The family is so grateful for all the support, prayers and concern from people all over. Please pray for strength for them too to undergo this terrible trial. We are all just hoping for a miracle but preparing ourselves for the tragic loss of dear Terri...."

Lord bring Michale Schiavo to repentence and bring Judge Greer to repentence as well. Let them repent, then break and renounce the covenant with death! Let them tell the spirit of death to leave our country! Lord, we ask for a miracle of salvation for them, and for all others who are not being fair to Terri. Oh, Lord, move QUICKLY!!! In Jesus Name, amen.

Finding YOU in 2005

Standing for Terri Schiavo's resurrection day!!!


Posted by: schmidt

Father, Moses was on the mountain for 40 days and nights, without eating and drinking. Jesus was in the deseert fasting for 30 days and nights. Thank you Father that this fast Terri is on will only strengthen her and not harm her. Jesus I ask you to bring her bread from heaven and water from the river of life. Let her be only stronger because of her struggle with death. Cause her to triumph over it.

I pray that you would quicken Michael's heart to hear you. Release him from the covenant that he has with death. Make him realize it and renounce it and declare the truth. Spirit of Death and all spirits associated with the spirit of death, your assignments are hereby cancelled. Cease and desist, in the name of Jesus of Nazareth who came in the flesh. Jesus, you are Lord and God raised you from the dead. He that raised up Christ from the dead will also quicken Terri's Mortal body by the Spirit that dwelleth in her.

I ask that the truth would contend with Michael's mind. That he would not be able to rest until he releases her from the bondage that his legal authority holds over her life. Deal with him unmistakably and inescapeably. Let there be no question in his mind.

Psalm 118:1-29
O Terri, give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Terri now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let the house of Schiavo now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Terri called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered her, and set her in a large place. The LORD is on her side; she will not fear: what can man do unto her? The LORD taketh her part with them that help her: therefore shall she see her desire upon them that hate her.




It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. All nations compassed her about: but in the name of the LORD will she destroy them. They compassed her about; yea, they compassed her about: but in the name of the LORD she will destroy them. They compassed her about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD she will destroy them. Thou hast thrust sore at her that she might fall: but the LORD helped her. The LORD is her strength and song, and is become her salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly. Terri shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. The LORD hath chastened her sore: but he hath not given her over unto death. Open to her the gates of righteousness: she will go into them, and she will praise the LORD: This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter. She will praise thee: for thou hast heard her, and art become her salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in her eyes. This is the day which the LORD hath made; she will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, we beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, we beseech thee, send now prosperity. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD. God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art Terri's God, and she will praise thee: thou art her God, she will exalt thee. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

20: And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

Father God

We pray for Michael now and ask you to be with him. We have no idea the pain he has gone through over the many years and forgive us for judging him and showing unchristian sentiments towards him.

We ask that you would flood him with your love and healing. Father, forgive us for hindering your cause rather than helping by our ill informed, harsh criticisms of a situation we have no real idea about. We have no idea what it has been like to live with this situation all these years. We know that YOU are in control of our lives and we will not die before we are meant to. It says in Psalm 139 'all the days ordained to me were written in your book before one of them came to be'.

You take us home when it is time, you hold the keys of death and hades, no one can take this ultimate decision unless you know it is time.

Thank you for your love to us, even when we are not portraying your love rightly. You are the father who welcomes prodigals home, not with harsh words, but with a hug and tears. The story of the prodigal son shows us this truth about you.

Father, have mercy on us sinners, and help us to show your real heart of love, not narrow 'righteousness', we are in need of forgiveness and mercy.

Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone.

In the name of your dear Son, our Lord Jesus Christ

AMEN

Dear Heavenly Father, we continue in prayer that even in this night there can be light for Terri -- that she know how precious and great are Thy thoughts unto her, that Thy hand is upon her, and that Thy mercy endureth forever. Hold her, O Lord, Who alone doeth great wonders and Whose mercy endureth forever.
Psalm 136:1-26;139:5,10-12,17
Indeed we pray for Your working in the hearts of Michael Schiavo and Judge Greer for the covenant with death to be broken and renounced.
Agreeing in prayer with "FriendOfGod," we thank You for the reminders from Your word by "JeriRose," "serenity," "schmidt," and others joined in prayer here for Terri, Michael and all her family and friends, and their lawyers -- as well as for Judge Greer and the courts, Governor Bush and the FL legislature, President Bush and Congress, and all with earthly authority in this tragic situation. In the holy and precious name of Jesus, unto Whom is given all power in heaven and in earth. Amen.
Matthew 18:19-20;28:18; 1 Corinthians 5:4

Romans 8:26 "...We know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Hope Dims for Schiavo (EXCERPT)
by Pete Winn, associate editor, CitizenLink
With legal options exhausted, it appears it's now a matter of waiting for disabled Florida woman to die.
Terri Schiavo's chances of surviving the latest attempt by her husband and the courts to starve and dehydrate her to death have dimmed to a flicker. Over the weekend, the disabled Florida woman's parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, ended the legal battle to save their daughter—but pleaded with Florida Gov. Jeb Bush to intervene. David Gibbs III, lead attorney for the Schindlers, said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation" that the Schindlers had exhausted their last legal avenue in the seven-year-long legal battle. Both state and federal courts have turned them down on more than one occasion in the last week. "I'm not saying we wouldn't be open to any idea that comes up," Gibbs said, "but at this point, it appears that time has finally run out." Carrie Gordon Earll, senior analyst for bioethics at Focus on the Family, said—as hard as it is to face—time may have also run out for Terri medically. Today marks her 11th day without food or water. "At this point, Terri's organs may have been irreparably damaged by the lack of nutrients and hydration," Earll said. "Even if they tried to save her, they might not be able to."
Still, on Monday, though he did reiterate to reporters the legal battle was over, Bob Schindler virtually begged Gov. Bush to intervene and take custody of his daughter. Schindler told reporters that Terri was very weak, but she was still showing facial expressions and interacting. "She just has incredible strength," Schindler said. "It's not too late for someone to save her. At this point, for her sake, I plead again to the powers that be."
On Sunday, Gov. Bush,....referring specifically to intervention, Bush said: "I can't. I'd love to, but I can't."....However, Tom Fitton, president of Washington, D.C.-based Judicial Watch, said Bush could act....Fitton also believes Congress still has opportunities for legal action....
In the meantime, protests have continued at the Pinellas Park, Fla., hospice where Schiavo is being held. According to media reports, the crowd standing vigil was disruptive Sunday as reports were aired that Schiavo's health was deteriorating. Dr. H. Wayne House, a professor of law at Trinity Law School and president of the Oregon Theological Seminary, said Christians have a prophetic role to play in situations like this one—but must remember they are Christians. "Christians are to make known what is right, what is wrong, what is true, what is false," House said. "We have an obligation to do that and speak it loudly. And as far as civil disobedience is concerned—and the ones that have tried to take water to Terri—I think that has an honored tradition within Christianity for almost its entire history....But it's equally important how Christians stand up for truth, House argued. "Obviously, Christians are not to use violence in order to deal with violence," he said. "I don't think we return the same form of action. I think we should do it peaceably. There is no place here for people to take up arms or guns against the government, or to lash out with a less-than-Christian attitude. I think you do it with a spirit of humility and with a recognition of justice—and you let people know what is right and what is wrong."


Schiavo Weak, Clinging to Life
Protests moved to the White House as a "weak and emaciated" Terri Schiavo entered her 12th day without food or water.
Father Says Schiavo Weak but Responding (EXCERPT)
By Mike Schneider
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. (AP) - Described by her father as weak and emaciated, Terri Schiavo clung to life Monday, as police guarded her hospice room and demonstrators prayed outside for last-minute government intervention in the case. Supporters of prolonging the severely brain-damaged woman's life also carried their protests to the White House, while her father repeated his plea that she be kept alive by having a feeding tube reinserted. "She's still communicating, she's still responding. She's emaciated, but she's responsive,'' Bob Schindler told reporters after a morning visit with his daughter, saying that she showed facial expressions when he hugged and kissed her. George Felos, the attorney for husband and guardian Michael Schiavo, told reporters later that he had visited Schiavo for more than an hour Monday and said she looked "very peaceful. She looked calm.'' "I saw no evidence of any bodily discomfort whatsoever,'' Felos said, although he added her breathing seemed "a little on the rapid side'' and her eyes were sunken. Felos said the hospice room was decorated with flowers, had music playing and that Schiavo had a stuffed tabby cat under one arm.
He also said that the chief medical examiner for Pinellas County, Dr. John Thogmartin, had agreed to perform an autopsy. He said her husband wants definitive proof showing the extent of her brain damage. Michael Schiavo contends his wife told him years ago she would not want to be kept alive artificially under such circumstances. An attorney for Schiavo's parents, David Gibbs III, said her family also wants an autopsy. "We would certainly support and encourage an autopsy to be done with all the unanswered questions,'' Gibbs said.
The parents pressed again for President Bush, Congress and the president's brother Gov. Jeb Bush to intervene to have the feeding tube reinserted. A small group of supporters protested outside the White House gates. As Schiavo drew closer to death, extra police officers blocked the road in front of the Florida hospice, and an elementary school next door was closed so students could avoid the crowd. About 100 protesters were on hand Monday with signs and renewed prayers. Some in the crowd mocked the police by goose-stepping like Nazis.
President Bush's aides have said they have run out of legal options.
Gov. Bush said Monday that while it "made sense'' to have federal courts review the case, he had to respect their decisions last week not to order the tube reinserted. Jeb Bush later told Associated Press Television News that state lawmakers should closely examine issues of guardianship and when a feeding tube can be removed "if there's not an advance directive'' such as a living will.
At least two more appeals filed by the state seeking the feeding tube's reconnection were pending, but those challenges were before a Florida appeals court that had rejected the governor's previous efforts in the case.
Schindler said he feared the consequences of morphine that has been used to relieve his daughter's pain. "I have a great concern that they will expedite the process to kill her with an overdose of morphine because that's the procedure that happens,'' he said. Felos disputed that, saying that hospice records show Schiavo was given two low doses of morphine - one on March 19 and another on March 26 - and that she was not on a morphine drip. The records show that the second dose was given after nurses noticed "light moaning and facial grimacing and tensing of arms,'' he said. Hospice spokesman Mike Bell said federal rules kept him from discussing Schiavo specifically, but said "a fundamental part of hospice is that we would do nothing to either hasten or postpone natural death.'' Comfort measures, including morphine drips, are used in consultation with a patient's guardian, physician and hospice care team, Bell said.

Appeals Court to Consider Schiavo Request (EXCERPT)
By Ron Word, Associated Press Writer
In a rare legal victory for Terri Schiavo's parents, a federal appeals court agreed to consider their request for a new hearing on whether to reconnect their severely brain-damaged daughter's feeding tube. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta issued a written ruling without comment late Tuesday granting the emergency motion, but did not indicate when it would consider rehearing the case.
~ ~ We praise Thee, Lord, giving thanks in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and asking for timely action. Amen. ~ ~
Last week, the same court twice ruled against Schiavo's parents, who are trying to keep their daughter alive....The request for a new hearing also asks to have the tube reinserted immediately "in light of the magnitude of what is at stake and the urgency of the action required." Tuesday's decision was a ray of hope for the Schindlers, who have lost a string of court battles over their daughter's fate. The case has wound its way through six courts for seven years; the U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene five times. Protesters keeping a 24-hour vigil outside the hospice praised the latest order....The request contends that the federal court in Tampa had "committed plain error when it reviewed only the state court case and outcome history."...."I think the courts want to be sure that there's no accusation that any legal argument was ignored," said attorney Neal Sonnett, former chairman of the American Bar Association's criminal justice section. Federal courts were given jurisdiction to review Schiavo's case after Republicans in Congress pushed through unprecedented emergency legislation aimed at prolonging Schiavo's life. But federal courts at two levels have rebuffed the family....First lady Laura Bush...commented on the case Tuesday, saying the government was right to have intervened on behalf of Schiavo. "It is a life issue that really does require government to be involved," Bush said...

Consumer Advocate Ralph Nader, Author Wesley Smith call Upon Florida Courts, Gov. Bush and Concerned Citizens to Take any Legal Action Available to let Schiavo Live
WASHINGTON, March 24 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Consumer Advocate Ralph Nader and Wesley J. Smith, author of the award winning book "Culture of Death: The Assault on Medical Ethics in America" call upon the Florida Courts, Governor Jeb Bush and concerned citizens to take any legal action available to let Terri Schiavo live. "A profound injustice is being inflicted on Terri Schiavo," Nader and Smith asserted today. "Worse, this slow death by dehydration is being imposed upon her under the color of law, in proceedings in which every benefit of the doubt-and there are many doubts in this case-has been given to her death, rather than her continued life."
Among the many injustices in this case, Nader and Smith point to the following:
The courts not only are refusing her tube feeding, but have ordered that no attempts be made to provide her water or food by mouth. Terri swallows her own saliva. Spoon feeding is not medical treatment. "This outrageous order proves that the courts are not merely permitting medical treatment to be withheld, it has ordered her to be made dead," Nader and Smith assert.
The medical and rehabilitation experts are split on whether Terri is in a persistent vegetative state or whether Terri can be improved with therapy. There is only one way to know for sure- permit the therapy. That is the only way to resolve all doubts.
The court is imposing process over justice. After the first trial in this case, much evidence has been produced that should allow for a new trial-which was the point of the hasty federal legislation. If this were a death penalty case, this evidence would demand reconsideration. Yet, an innocent disabled woman is receiving less justice. The federal and state governments are spending billions on what we are told will become miracle medical cures for people with all sorts of degenerative conditions, including brain damage. If this is so, why not permit Terri's parents and siblings who want to care for her do so in the hope that such cures are discovered? Benefits of doubts should be given to life, not hastened death. This case is rife with doubt. Justice demands that Terri be permitted to live.

Lieberman Backs Life for Schiavo
Former Democratic vice presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman says if it were up to him, he'd reinsert Terri Schiavo's feeding tube in order to keep her alive.
"You would have kept the tube in?" asked NBC's "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert. Lieberman, a Demcoratic U.S. senator from Connecticut who ran as his party’s vice presidential nominee in 2000, replied, "I would have kept the tube in." The exchange began when Russert mentioned Lieberman's Republican House colleague, Rep. Christopher Shays. Shays said he believed the GOP would suffer "repercussions" from voting last week to try to get the brain-damaged Florida woman's feeding tube replaced. "This Republican Party of Lincoln has become a party of theocracy. ... There are going to be repercussions from this vote [on Schiavo's constitutional rights]," Shays said. "There are a number of people who feel that the government is getting involved in heir personal lives in a way that scares them." Russert asked Lieberman if he "agreed" with that statement. "I don't," Lieberman said. And though he said Shays' statement was "a very credible and respectable opinion, the fact is that, though I know a lot of people's attitude toward the Schiavo case and other matters is affected by their faith and their sense of what religion tells them about morality, ultimately as members of Congress, as judges, as members of the Florida state Legislature, this is a matter of law. And the law exists to express our values. "I have been saying this in speeches to students about why getting involved in government is so important. I always say the law is where we define the beginning of life and the end of life, and that's exactly what was going on here," Lieberman continued. "And I think as a matter of law, if you go - particularly to the 14th Amendment, [you] can't be denied due process, have your life or liberty taken without due process of law, that though the Congress' involvement here was awkward, unconventional, it was justified to give this woman, more than her parents or husband, the opportunity for one more chance before her life was terminated by an act which was sanctioned by a court, by the state." Lieberman added, "These are very difficult decisions, but - of course, if you ask me what I would do if I was the Florida Legislature or any state legislature, I'd say that if somebody doesn't have a living will and the next of kin disagree on whether the person should be kept alive or that is whether food and water should be taken away and her life ended - that really the benefit of the doubt ought to be given to life[/b]." In conclusion, Lieberman said, "The family member who wants to sustain her life ought to have that right because the judge really doesn't know, though he heard the facts, one judge, what Terri Schiavo wanted. He made a best guess based on the evidence before him. That's not enough when you're talking about aggressively removing food and water to end someone's life."[/b] "You would have kept the tube in?" asked NBC's "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert. Lieberman replied, "I would have kept the tub in."

Jackson fighting for emegency Schiavo legislation (EXCERPT)
By Thomas R. Collins, Palm Beach Post Staff Writer, Tuesday, March 29, 2005
PINELLAS PARK — After his request to visit Terry Schiavo was denied Tuesday, the Rev. Jesse Jackson said he would fight for "emergency legislation" to try to keep her alive. Jackson was invited to Schiavo's hospice by her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, but his request to actually see Schiavo was subject to the approval of Michael Schiavo, her legal guardian, and he denied Jackson's request. Saying that he has spoken to state senators about possible changes in the law, Jackson said Schiavo presented a "singular opportunity for all of us" to note the importance of a variety of issues: from health-care legislation to world hunger to trying to protect the downtrodden. "We're being healed by her strife and we're being taught lessons by her enduring struggle," Jackson said outside Schiavo's hospice. "It's about one lost sheep. It's about everybody matters." Jackson also call Gov. Jeb Bush about the case, but had not heard back from him early Tuesday afternoon. While polls show that a majority of Americans believe Congress overstepped its bounds in intervening in the Schiavo case, Jackson's appearance highlights the case as one where activists at the opposite ends of the political spectrum can find common ground. Jackson is considered one of the core figures of liberalism, while one of the most prominent conservative leaders, U.S. Rep. Tom DeLay, two weeks ago led the effort to pass federal legislation intended to have Schiavo's feeding tube reinserted. Jackson said disconnecting a terminally ill patient from a medical machine was different than the case of Schiavo, who is being denied food and water. "We should not stand by and watch her die when we have the means to let her live," he said. Court-appointed doctors have said that Schiavo is in a permanent vegetative state and has no chance of recovery....

Civil rights leader joins Schiavo row (EXCERPT)
Wed 30 Mar 2005
CIVIL rights leader Rev Jesse Jackson has entered the right-to-die row in the United States as Terri Schiavo enters her 12th day without food or water. Mr Jackson prayed with Ms Schiavo’s parents and joined conservatives in calling for state lawmakers to order her feeding tube reinserted. The former Democratic presidential candidate was invited by Ms Schiavo’s parents to meet with activists yesterday outside the hospice she is in. He said: "I feel so passionate about this injustice being done, how unnecessary it is to deny her a feeding tube, water, not even ice to be used for her parched lips. "This is a moral issue and it transcends politics and family disputes." Mr Jackson’s visit provided an emotional boost to Ms Schiavo’s parents and siblings, who have maintained that she would want to be kept alive....Mary Schindler...made a terse but emotional appeal to Michael Schiavo: "Michael and Jodi, you have your own children. Please, please give my child back to me." Michael Schiavo and fiancée Jodi Centonze have two children, born long after Terri Schiavo fell into paralysis....

Amen. Dear Heavenly Father, our heart does indeed go out to Michael Schiavo as we pray for Your leading in intervention for Terri to not be starved to death. We do pray that Michael seek Thee and the Holy Spirit help him in any spiritual needs and particularly now in positively reacting to the heartrending appeals of Terri's biological family. Be glorified, O Lord, in the powerful name of Jesus, Amen.

Michael Schiavo agrees to autopsy (EXCERPT)
Husband says he wants rumors of Terri's condition put to rest
Posted: March 28, 2005, 8:25 p.m. Eastern, © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com
Michael Schiavo has agreed to an autopsy of his brain-injured wife upon her death to put to rest rumors about her physical condition, according to the estranged husband's attorney, George Felos.Felos said this afternoon Michael Schiavo believes the autopsy by the Pinellas County chief medical examiner "will show the public the full and massive extent of damage to her brain through her cardiac arrest in 1990." Dampening the drama of Michael Schiavo's apparent change of heart on the issue, however, is the fact that Florida law actually requires an autopsy or other cause-of-death diagnostics to be performed on any deceased person for whom cremation has been requested....

Dear Lord, we pray that the autopsy will not be needed now, that Terri live to receive proper medical attention and therapy, and that any triumph is for Your glory. We hope in You and pray in Jesus' precious name. Amen

"Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

Schiavo Autopsy Done; Family Feuding Over Funeral
Schiavo Family, Husband Spar Over Funeral (EXCERPT)
By Vickie Chachere, 04/01/05
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - The medical examiner completed the autopsy of Terri Schiavo on Friday, clearing the way for the release of the body to her husband, who plans to cremate her remains and bury the ashes without telling his in-laws when or where.
Results of the autopsy may not be released for several weeks, the medical examiner's office said. Husband Michael Schiavo hopes the autopsy will settle questions about her medical condition, but experts differ on whether that will happen.
Michael Schiavo and his in-laws spent Friday planning separate funerals for the 41-year-old woman, who died Thursday - 13 days after her feeding tube was removed.
Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, have scheduled a funeral Mass for Tuesday in nearby Gulfport. The Mass will be preceded by a gathering for people to express their condolences.
Michael Schiavo's family has said he plans to take the cremated remains to Pennsylvania, where she grew up, but her parents want to bury her body in Florida so her parents and siblings can visit her grave....The body is now ready for release to an unidentified mortuary designated by her husband....David Gibbs, the Schindlers' attorney, said there have been no further discussions between Michael Schiavo and the Schindlers about their daughter's remains. The Schindlers do not plan to press the issue in court, he said. "The court has already determined that (Michael Schiavo) will control the burial decisions,'' Gibbs said....Michael Schiavo's brother, Scott Schiavo, had said Thursday that the Schindlers might not be informed of the burial location near Philadelphia because his family did not want to turn it into a media spectacle. However, Michael Schiavo has been ordered by the court to disclose the location of the burial site to the family and inform them of any memorial service he plans.

The cremation happened at 9 a.m. at a National Cremation Society facility, according to Michael Schiavo's attorney, George Felos. He would not specify the location of the crematorium. "No further plans have as yet been determined," Felos said, concluding a terse news release....Michael Schiavo has not spoken publicly since his wife's death, but Felos said Saturday: "He's holding up. It's very difficult for him."

Lord, I stand for the miracle of Michael Schiavo's salvation. I also stand for the salvation of some other Michael's: Michael Jackson, Michael J. Fox, Michael Moore and Michael (Mike) Childs {former boss). Lord God, I used the Michael Schiavo prayer as a trigger for the others. Let each of these Michael's find their way home to You! I ask You, Father, in the Name of Jesus. So let it be written; so let it be done!!!

Lord, I pray that Michael Schiavo will make his peace with You. I pray he will stop being so stubborn about all this! Break his pride, and let him be humbled and come home to You in slavation! I pray that he will know FOR SURE that he is going to heaven. I know he made a comment aobut just letting Terri go home to The Lord, but it does not automatically follow that he is saved. Lord, please let him be GOOD SAVED, in Jeus Name, amen.

I stand in agreement for Michael Schiavo's salvation. I pray that You will line up devine appointments, that he may hear of You in the days to come, by a mighty witness. I pray the love of Jesus Christ will be obvious to him through the testimony of those who share with him. Let Your love flow out of those who witness to him! I pray that he will be HUNGRY to know You, as a result of the witness of those You are sending to him. Bring him to the knowledge of his need for You. Bring him home to salvation, Father God, through Your Son, Jesus Christ and through the mighty convicition of Your Holy Spirit. Send those who will shake his world with their witness. You know what I pray of.... In Jesus Name, I feel such anointing! Amen and amen!

Joining in Continued Prayer for Michael Schiavo's Soul Situation with the Lord

Michael Schiavo Using Wife's Death to Aid Candidates
Michael Schiavo, husband of the late Terri Schiavo — the disabled woman who was starved and dehydrated to death by court order in March 2005 — crashed a Wednesday campaign event for Rep. Marilyn Musgrave, R-Colo. He condemned her for trying to intervene in his wife's death, the Greeley Tribune reported.
Schiavo accused Musgrave — who sponsored a bill that tried to keep his estranged wife alive — of "injecting herself and her values into the private lives of Americans."
"I continue to believe that you took advantage of my family's situation for political gain without regard for who you hurt," he wrote in a letter he hand delivered to Musgrave. "While I sought only dignity for Terri, you played to the camera, and you played to a waiting crowd of political extremists."
Schiavo said his motivation for contacting Musgrave is to forward his fight for the right to privacy.
"I will go as far as I need to go," he said. He called Musgrave's efforts to save Terri "outspoken and misguided attempts to have Congress overrule the legal courts and overturn the private medical decisions made by family."
Schiavo attended Musgrave's event accompanied by state Rep. Angie Paccione, a Democrat from Fort Collins who is challenging Musgrave for the 4th Congressional District.
"Michael puts a human face on the invasion of privacy," Paccione said.
Bob Martinez, chairman of the state Republican party, in a written statement condemned the Democratic candidates who have appeared with Schiavo at fundraising events.
"I can't help but believe that the majority of Coloradoans were appalled to learn that Michael Schiavo is helping political candidates profit off his wife's death," he said.
Musgrave declined to respond to Schiavo's antics but simply stated: "I have only compassion for Michael and Terri's family, and all those who have lost a loved one."

KJV Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer.
