It is with great sadness that I have to pass this sad news:
Ronaldo is in intensive care in the County Hospital and is unlikely to make a full recovery. He is not going to be well enough to return to Brainking.
Margaretta (his wife) asked Fencer to pass this awful news on to me. It is with sadness I pass this on to you.
My thoughts are very much with his wife and family at this sad time.
Ronaldo is in intensive care and unlikely to make a full recovery, he will remain in hosptial or hospice care for the remainder of his life:
I got a pm from Fencer at the request of his wife Magaretta and a separate email from the same lady who didn't connect my email addy with 'Nirvana' on here.
I know as a person he could be difficult sometimes, but a lot of his unexpected behaviour was down to the horrendous pain he suffered plus the drugs he was on to try and help him. He has been bedridden for some time. From his chats with me he is a frightened man, in considerable pain. I got to know him quite well, both as a friend and while comparing notes etc on his beloved History ~ something which fascinates us both. He could be unpredictable some times, but meant well. He is a caring person and I did all I could to try and support him, and by helping with his research etc I was able to take his mind off his problems a bit, the only constructive way I could help. The nature of his illnesses take courage. To be in such pain for so long can't be easy. I for one will miss him.
He made History in so many ways in his Fellowship, bringing to life a subject which covers everything in our daily lives, no matter what it is, from the country we live in to the objects around us all, everything has a history of sorts, some more involved than others.
My thought and sympathy as this time are of course with his family and him.
Thanks all.... in the ultra sound pictures she was giving her mom and dad the thumbs up! That has a very significant meaning to me!! And I get to baby sit all summer cuz I'm off! I'll be her favorite! hehehehehe woooo hoooo....bonding will be fun......
My sister's husband, Tom, passed away in his sleep for no apparent reason. He was not sick and had no known illnesses. They are performing an autopsy to try and determine why he died. He was only 43 years old as I am 17 years older than my sister, Mary Ann. I am leaving for New York, where he will be taken from their home in Pennsylvania to be buried in the Brooklyn area, near his only brother, Michael, who died in the basement of one of the Twin Towers on 9-11-01, . He was one of the firemen that perished in that horrible tragedy. I feel so bad for the boys' parents as now they will bury their remaining son Friday, November 5th. I will return Nov. 8th. Please say a prayer for my sister and her beloved Tom and his family.
Thank you Scarlet Rose, Dolittle and Nirvana. I had a minute in between packing my suitcase and needed to do something to get my mind off the emotional three days ahead of me, my sister and Tom's family. See you here when I return.
题目: Re: Thank you for your kind words and thoughts.
Radiant, thank you for your prayers. I am back home after attending the funeral in Brooklyn, New York. Tom was not buried in Sellersville, PA near their new home of only a year and few months. He was buried next to his brother, Michael who lost his life performing his duties as a firemen in the 9-11 tragedy. His mother has just her daughter left as both her sons passed; both very young. My sister is doing well but after her best friend leaves her home after staying with her for a week and she finds herself all alone in that big house; I will have to worry about her in Pennsylvania. I will keep in touch with her by phone and sending her notes of encouragement, understanding and sympathy.
While we don't like to hear bad news and don't appreciate the
pronouncement of judgment on others, there is a time when it is
appropriate. Jesus was not only our sacrificial lamb, but he is
also our Chief Shepherd. When the earthly shepherds of his sheep do
not lead faithfully, he will demand harsh justice. This is a
warning to all who lead that they must do so faithfully and
tenderly. It is also a comfort to those who have been abused by
ungodly leaders -- God will wipe away your tears and he will bring
about a righteous justice to those who have abused the stewardship
of their pastoral calling.
On Thursday I went into the doctors for chest pains that I thought were related to my cold. They put me in the hospital right away and today I had an angiogram. Apparently I have some blockage and was a candidate for a heart attack. YIPES. And to think I was going to wait another week. But as it was, I could hardly do anyting without pain. Am very sore right now but many have prayed for me and all went well with the procedure. My wife was with me all the time and my daugter was there all day. I'm home now and in a bit of pain but glad to have caught this problem ahead of time. I would covet your prayers in the coming weeks. God bless.
How awful, AD what happened to you!!!! You are in my thoughts and prayers! :-) Always! Be safe and have faith and Im glad you have your loved ones around you to take care of you!!
My thoughts and prayers are with you of course AD and your family. It is good to know your loved ones are there with you ~ you shouldn't be alone at a time like this.

how hard would it be to truley be a devote christian,and walk the path that Jesus walked?
may the good Lord save us from religeous thieves and liars who use religion as a shield.
Impossible without the inner strength of the HS. That is my guess. We can only strive to be like HIM, which should be each Chritian's ultimate goal. It's a good question. I'd say the real answer is "It's impossible." But with God all things are possible. But only through HIM.
