I agree that this forum is no place for either politics or religion. There are plenty of sites for either of those topics and people debate with a vengeance for what they believe. Visit those sites if that's what you're looking for. When I ask for you to pray for me I am completely sincere. My father was a deacon in the church and I was raised to believe in God and the Bible. I have certainly not always followed the Ten Commandments...not even one of them. Although the older I get the stronger my belief in God as my higher power becomes. Of course, I realize that I am no saint. My belief system is growing as my need for something to hang on to grows. The closer to death I become, the easier it is to believe in the Bible and the acts therein. When I was taken to the hospital the last two times, the doctors and nurses had to use the paddles on me and that is extremely sobering to hear about. I was literally a heartbeat away from death and I had no near death experience which makes it even more scary. Facing death makes believing in something like the Bible and God easier to conceive of. The immediacy and finality of death brought with it the need for something strong and bigger than we human beings. I needed Jesus and His Gift to hang on to. Without Him and the story of the Bible, I could find nothing to believe in. There are millions of books in libraries around the world. But no other book is opened and read more often than the Bible. Of course other religions have their own books of Prayer and belief in a Redeemer. To each, his own. I want to be prayed for. I need to be prayed for. And I appreciate every single prayer sent to Heaven on my behalf. I will pray for you as well if you believe as I do. Even if you don't believe like me I will pray for your peace of mind and health for your body. I promise never to belay this topic again. I think enough has been said by this big voice. So, continue to pray for me...for relief from this constant barrage of pain, for relief of the infections coursing through my blood, and for relief of the pressure sores and the infections that started it all. Thank you, from your constant admirer, Jude .
