To both bouncybouncy & prettymama for each is dealing with serious health problems of those that they hold dear in their lives, may you both find a sense of peace in these very hard times & know that many, many people wish for only the very best of outcomes
toddioprod:It is like a breath of fresh air to read this post of yours. I was involved in a religion...which will remain nameless.....which had no tolerance for the points of view of others in other religions. In the end my experience in this religion took on cultlike attributes. I am now out of it but experience bouts of lonliness and other things attributable to those having left a REAL cult. Thanks for your post. It was read by me at the most important time: NOW. Made me feel so much better. Thanks, again!
Please say a prayer for jrhardhead, he is a member here and is very ill. He also could use some more games if anyone is interested in playing backgammon or Ludo! Know he would appreciate it!

Please can we all say a prayer for Sandy's (Prettymamma)father who is quite poorly at the moment. Take care sweetie and i certainly hope it gets better real soon.
Groucho: Its so very hard , i really do feel for you and your family and Chris's family. The fact he wasnt wearing a seatbelt, makes it harder to take in. I have bookmarked your brothers website, and will look at it tomorrow if thats ok. Going to bed now have a 6.15am start tomorrow.
bouncybouncy: Thanks. Check out Love Never Fails ministry. My brother's site in memory of his son Adam. Adam's mother is going to send a Love Basket to the family the just lost their son. It's a great ministry. Only those that have gone through it can really understand. I can't imagine the pain. Sadly we just learned yesterday that Chris wasn't wearing his seatbelt. The road he was on is 55mph and both vehicles were totaled. The funeral is tomorrow (Saturday) .
Thoughts and prayers for a a former student of mine who tragically died yesterday in a car accident. Great kid and super family. Being a small town they are known by many. The staff is devistated. He was 22. Name Chris. Thanks
I was at a twelve step meeting tonight for the first time in a long time. Laziness was not the reason for my prolonged absence! But irregardless of the reason I was at the meeting and it closed with the Lord's/Disciples' prayer! Whenever I hear that prayer,because I don't hear it often, I'm reminded of how unforgiving I am.....even tonight as an EX Christian! Being an EX Christian doesn't allow me the right to be unforgiving or to forgive when not an ounce of energy is needed. Furthermore, I was amazed at how much stress it took to be forever unforgiving. I feel as if a load has been taken off of my shoulders by dropping all of the grudges as a result of multiple hurts leading up to 2002 and beyond. "Forgive us our temptations....as we forgive those who trespass against us. Reminds me of the marraige vow "To have and to cherish in sickness and health....But what happens when the sickness comes?...as in what happens when it takes energy to forgive? I quit religion for health reasons. But now that I see how brainwashed I was and how cultlike the religious experience was like at the end I am leery of going back into it too intensely and becoming brainwashed again. I am not against religion. I just have a personal fear of it.

.....wife of Darren Clarke (PGA) who died peacefully in her sleep 2.19am after a courageous battle with breast cancer,aged, just 39. My thoughts and prayers go to Darren and their children , Tyrone and Connor.
Groucho: You are very welcome!! I have had no idea of you being in hospital... :-( Since its about a week later: how are you doing now and what is 'packing'?
God bless you real good and may He heal you completely!!! amen
As today is the day of my birth and you can't be with me, I want to send you both ALL my Love & ALL my Thanks, for if it were not for the union of two such wonderful people once upon a time, I would not be me.....I LOVE YOU BOTH for all eternity.....Thank You Always for making me, raising me, and loving me...I feel very blessed for having known you...
Radiant Aunt: It's been a week and the last few days have been rough. Hard to explain but there is currently little drainage due to the packing and so it's like having the flu. I see the doc tomorrow and as I understand it, they will remove the packing and that should help a lot with the pain. ;)
