This is a miracle and an amazing story! Thanks to the milk of human kindness on this one: When Carolyn Isbister put her 20oz baby on her chest for a cuddle, she thought that it would be the only chance she would ever have to hold her. Doctors had told the parents that baby Rachel only had only minutes to live because her heart was beating once every ten seconds and she was not breathing. Isbister remembers: I didn’t want her to die being cold. So I lifted her out of her blanket and put her against my skin to...

Terri’s husband and legal guardian, Michael Schiavo, nearly a...

Please pray for my son. He has a major problem with an addiction and is entering a very dark place. We need massive prayer against the snares of Satan, who seems to have seduced him nearly entirely.Also, pray for the proper professional and spiritual help to cross his path before he hurts himself.Lastly, please pray for my wife and I. I have never felt so helpless... A_R (Nick's Dad)

MIAMI GARDENS -- For 33 years, in a bedroom decorated with angels, Kaye O'Bara has tended to her daughter, Edwarda, a diabetic whose heart stopped beating in 1970, damaging her brain and thrusting her into a sleep from which she has never awakened.

She mixes baby food, milk, eggs, orange juice, Mazola oil, brewer's yeast and a piece of white bread into a blender and then a wire mesh strainer, pouring the concoction into Edwarda's feeding tube every two hours, day and night. She suctions...
