Let first say that I support the actions of Congress, the Republican Party, and the many Christians out there working to save Terri Shiavo's life.<br /><br />I do not wish to conjecture on the subject of her former husband other than I believe his role of guardian is compromised by the conflict of living with another women with whom he has two children.<br /><br />I have been stunned to watch the events unfold as they have. First, denials at the state level. Then pride watching a Congress act to protect life. Then disdain as judicial tyrants circumvent the intent of the law Congress had passed. My faith in the Supreme Court is already badly shaken, so I expected no relief from them today.<br /><br />As dissented in the 11th Circuit appeals court, what harm comes from erring on the side of life and restoring food and water to Terri Shiavo as her case is tried? None that I can see. Her imminent death will indeed send chills through our government and this population - as it should. It does not escape my attention that Christ's death will be observed this Friday - a death he freely accepted - but was brought in part by the inaction of local politicians. Though the parallels are not exact, the similarities exist. This is an important week to take note of actions occurring around you.Commandanthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05907537267562447618noreply@blogger.com
