The Lord's Superheros........

Friday morning, I read a story about a woman who is 81 years old. Her name is Mae Magouirk and she lives in Georgia

She has a living will......but it did not matter....

See she is not terminally ill, she is not on life support, she has glaucoma and some heart problems. Her granddaughter admitted her to a hospice, told the hospice that she did not want her grandmother fed. So Mae Magouirk, with living will, was without food for 10 days. For the rest of the early part of the story go here:

The rest of her family kicked into gear. They contacted whoever they could. World Net Daily ran the story and then the bloggers took over. It spread like wildfire. Blogs, more blogs, personal emails, posted on forums, bloggers calling all people involved.

The Terri Schiavo camp also kicked into gear, Terri's attorney jumped in free of charge, Terri's bloggers pumping out blogs...........

And 24 hours later Mae Magouirk, 81 year old woman with living will that didn't matter, is now in the hands of a hospital and cardioligists. She is receiving food, and medical care as we speak.

I am so proud of World Net Daily, the ONLY news source to run this story, and of every single person who did SOMETHING to save this woman from starvation.

To see the current story about her rescue, please go here:
