Florida Report - March 25, 2005

Christians are continuing to flow into Pinellas Park, Florida, from all over the nation. "There were more people here Thursday at Terri's hospice than there have been all week," according to Kristene O'Dell. She said she has received many calls from those who are feeling compelled to come and stand vigil for Terri in what now appears to be the waning hours of her life.

It has been disheartening for all who believe in the sanctity of life to see Judge Greer rule once again for Michael Schiavo. The judge refuses to hear statements from doctors on Terri's behalf. There seems to be a roadblock at every turn. However, "Let us not grow weary in well doing, knowing that we will reap a harvest in due season if we faint not" (Galatians 6:9). If we do not see the physical manifestation of this today in the spared life of Terri, we may yet see resurrection power and life break forth through the Church of Jesus Christ as we plant seeds of obedience.

Do not lose hope on this Good Friday. Let us look upward asking for the stone to be rolled away and for the resurrected life of Jesus to fill Terri.
