Not long to live.

Posted on 02/18/2019 2:36:21 PM PST by Bob Celeste

Well I am in End of Life Hospice care at the Togus Hospital in Augusta Maine.

So, I reckon I can say just about anything I want to about politics, politicians, false prophets, preachers and everything else.

If you were in my shoes, what would you say and to whom.

So sorry to hear this sad news you are bringing us, Bob.   (This is certainly not the kind of "Opus" I like to see from anyone!)

I will pray for you, and will focus my prayers on this passage from the Bible (Numbers 6:24-26).

The Lord bless you and keep you.

The Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.

The Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.

I’ve heard Heaven’s chapter of Free Republic has a pretty group of freepers. May we all meet up there some day.

Oh, I suppose I’d talk to those I love.

You’re in my prayers.

God keep you, Sir.

Gd bless you. Wishing you nothing but comfort and if a miracle healing is in the works, enjoy your health. If not, please enjoy heaven and save us all some space. Yes, say whatever the hell you want to now; it’s a good time. Gd bless.

Trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ alone to justify you and reconcile you to God. Then give and get forgiveness from everyone around you.

Bob, I salute you, sir, and as a classmate of yours from the 1998 Freeper enrollments, wish you all the best. There is a lot of you still left that ought to be recording yourself and your thoughts on whatever it is you wish to opine. There will be descendants one day listening closely to every word you leave them. The sound of your voice itself is a priceless gift to the future of those you leave behind. Get busy!

God bless you and be with you, Bob. You will be missed here. I noticed in a post a day or so ago you said you were in hospice care.

As to what I would say, and I may soon enough be in a similar position, I would say something along these lines to friends and family:

Get right with God. Give thanks to God and accept Jesus. Be ready for the Lord to come tonight.

But also prepare to defend and care for your loved ones and those who cannot take care of themselves, as bad times are likely coming to these United States. Stock weapons and food and plan to defend your area with family and friends.

This period of history is likely the end of the US as we know it. Too many want to destroy the Constitution. Even those in positions of power in Washington are its enemies. Be ready for a dictatorship, be ready for a civil war.

When the Roman Senate became as venal and corrupt, there followed dictatorship and civil wars. The US is on the same path. Those who are best prepared and go into it with open eyes have the best chance to survive and restore Constitutional government to some part of the US, at least.

And remember. A culture that not only ignores evil and fails to punish it, but also encourages and supports it does not deserve to continue. If you are blessed with the chance to restore the Constitution, know that it was designed for a moral people, and don’t let evil remain within its jurisdiction.

God bless you and keep you until we meet again.

Well, the Apostle Paul writes,”As you sow, so shall you reap.” They have sown a lot of dead babies. In either this World, or the next, the will answer for them.

You may already know this by heart, but if not, here are the lyrics to “At the Cross”, or otherwise known as “Alas and Did My Savior Bleed”

Written by Isaac Watts, pub.1707 -
ref. by Ralph E. Hudson, 1885

If you do not know the tune, I hope you can look this up, and here it sung by a choir. It is powerful!

Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sov’reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?

Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

Well might the sun in darkness hide
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker died,
For man the creature’s sin.

Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears,
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.

But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe:
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
’Tis all that I can do.

Refrain (Hudson):
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!

Refrain (Campmeeting):
I do believe, I do believe
That Jesus died for me;
And through His blood, His precious blood
I am from sin set free.

That is wonderful news to hear!
In fact, be joyous in what awaits you.

Psalm 116:15 says this:

“Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints.”

Christ holds the keys to death & hades. He’s overcome it all for anybody willing to call out to Him in repentance and salvation.

1 Corinthians 2:9

But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

May the Lord comfort you and your family.

Bob,

Forget the politics and all the rest of the things that are distractions in this life. Friends, family, those we love and God are all that's important now.

God bless and keep you and all you love on your journey home. Godspeed.
