I dont wanna be a downer but having Jesus first in my life I can only turn to my family. About ten years ago one of my best friends was killed in a car accident. I found out Today that his dad, who was also a very good friend, commited suicide at the spot where my friend was killed. I really need all of your prayers as i didnt expect this news to hit me so hard. He was the last person i would have expected to do this. And to answer your questions...No neither of them were Christians. He is survived by his ex wife and his daughter, son in law and his grandson. Yeah I know you dont usually add a son in law as a next of kin but that is the way he would have stated it. A very well respected man in many communities because he gave respect thus earning respect from everyone who met him.

Praying for you and the family, Elf. That is just tragic, especially that they were not Christians. I guess he never recovered from the death of his son.

Some may think this disrespectful to God or even sacrilegious but i have to say this. If i had once ounce of the respect this man had as a non Christian, as i have as a Christian, then i would think i am doing ok. It shows what the character of this man was. Now as a Christian what is my character? How do people see me? If I, as a Christian, do not deserve this much respect then i must truly look inside myself and see where I am wrong. If God is first in my life and I cannot "earn" the respect of others then I must take a deep deep look into my life. Do I respect others? Do I treat others with love? Am I humble before others? If I cannot answer "yes" to all three of those questions then I not only need to kneel before God but become completely prone before Him with my face in the dirt. Love, respect and humility are key to the Christian and to living my life for Jesus. I cannot be or call myself a Christian if even one of those attributes is missing. I pray to God that He make me into the man that He would have me be. I do not want what i want. I want what God wants.

Not to point fingers at any one of you but, shouldnt we all ask this question of ourselves? Yeah i am asking myself these questions right now and Praying God "fixes" me.

We are on the outside observing what we can see.....We aren't on the inside of anyone only ourselves and that is why I said I hold out hope for your friend. We don't know the last thoughts he had or how he communicated with God. God knows all and He knew your friend's heart and situation....God is the final judge of things and your friend may have lived life the best he knew how to and I don't know if he had a relationship with God and just say that I hold onto hope that there was something there with God and your friend....I just hold onto hope and know that God is just and fair and will make the right judgment call on your friend... I hold out hope because God loved your friend and sent Jesus to die for him too. God loves your friend.

I attempted suicide once and failed my mind was confused and I was a nervous wreck had a breakdown I would not want to be the one to make the judgment call....sometimes we mentally can't cope...God knows these things and I hold out hope for your friend that God knows all and God loves your friend. Rest in our God and hope.
 
I caught some kind of respiratory thing that sounded suspiciously like croup, although according to my daughter, I am too old for it! I spent the day in bed sleeping it off, which is probably a good thing.

So the new RA med is working after only 2 days. Then I get a phone call from my rheumatologist that my liver has gone into acute distress, since before I took the med. I can feel the liver hurting today. So I have no idea why my liver is in trouble - some drug or other, no doubt.

Please pray my liver will recover so I can take this new med. I am so disappointed and concerned that I won't be able to continue on this drug. Well, I was worried even before I took it. Drat! Another drug that works and my liver can't handle it! Considering I have no risk factors for liver, and my liver keeps flipping out, I am really tired of playing this game.

I know you are probably going to tease me for this, but what is a LinkedIn?

It is a terrible social media site, which you simply cannot delete your profile. I've been trying for several years! It is supposed to be about making contacts, especially for business and jobs.

I don't work anymore, so I don't need this site. If anyone knows how to delete a LinkedIn profile, let me know. I am so tired of people adding me, and I have no idea who they are.
 
Sigh....God...love...and coffee lol...Is there anything else called satisfaction? HaHa...hey everyone...How is everybody?

Nah, no worries - LinkedIn is kinda like a business professional Facebook. It just gets your name around in business circles and links you with like professionals and their associates and their associates and their associates.... you get the picture. It's a good professional tool for getting your name out there. I'm on it!
