HOPE REMAINS. I wanted to blog the Schiavo ordeal yesterday, but, alas, my sorry Compac computer is not working. Hope has been rekindled, as the U. S. Congress passed a bill through both houses to allow an appeal to federal court. A hearing has been set for 3 p.m. today. Terri has been without food or water since 1:00 p.m. on Friday.

This is hope, but not a sure thing. No one knows how the federal judge will rule. Pray for Terri's life. Even more so, pray that America will drop its inclination toward killing everyone who does not appear useful or convenient.
