Terri Schiavo

I've been praying for two weeks for the Lord to intervene on behalf of Terri Schiavo. He answered my prayers today, but not in the way I had hoped -- she died at 9:05am EST on Thursday 3/31/2005 after 13 days without a feeding tube. I trust that many will see this tragic situation as a wakeup call to not only be certain that their families know their wishes for their own end-of-life care, but also to put it in a legal document, like a living will. It is not enough to tell your spouse or your family, you must put it in writing, and do it now while you are still well enough to do so.

Remember:

1. Terri was only 25 when she collapsed and suffered her brain injury.
2. We are only temporarily 'abled' -- disability can come at any time, and you are not immune.
