It’s late Saturday night and early morning Sunday as I recorded this podcast<\/a>. Terri has been without food and water for many hours now…Our emotions and our hopes keep going up and down. <\/p>\n

Now I hear about our inept elected officials screwing around on the job. Between the Senate and the Congress, they have passed two separate but different<\/em><\/strong> bills to save Terri and in doing so they have lost valuable time. Who was asleep at the wheel while this happened? A few minutes ago they said that they have finally fixed the two bills into one which will need passing on Monday. <\/p>\n

My guess is they would have damned well written and passed one correct bill the first time, if it was their loved one’s life on the line. <\/p>\n

I don’t mean to complain about the very people who are working so hard to save Terri’s life, but for those of us who elected them, we’re starting to get a little worried that our best and brightest are …well…neither <\/strong><\/em>! God help them as they try to help Terri! But for us, it is very frustrating to be depending on someone else to right this situation and save Terri. <\/p>\n

I’m sorry, but this has become personal to me, and I think to you as well. I had to blow off a little steam. Don’t play this podcast for small children either, I get a little heated. <\/p>\n

Pray for these folks! Offer today’s (Sunday March 20th ) mass intentions for them and Terri.
\nGod Bless you all!
