While caught up in this Trump/Cruz war of words this weekend, impy and I were ripping up each other verbally when he privately admitted that he was not himself.
He was more testy than normal because his father had a terrible accident which destroyed one of his eyes. The eye risks infection and will need to be removed Thursday.
This Easter weekend was bad enough.
But with someone you care about being seriously injured at the same time?
Please pray for Impy's father and make a quick prayer for impy as well.
At the same time, we need to keep reminding ourselves -- that person you're debating is a human being. And not just any person either, but someone who cares deeply about the USA.
But I confess, I'm getting more polarized by the day every time someone taunts me or someone who I agree with. It will continue to stay ugly.
But I hope that all of us can at least unplug from this now and then, pray for each other, and sometimes even thank our loyal opposition for being a good person.
Prayers said for all involved, and our nation.
Amen!
Perhaps you need to take some time off for self reflection. Stand down, if you will.
‘Perhaps you need to take some time off for self reflection. Stand down, if you will.’
Will you?
Prayers up for Impy’s Father.
Your advice to unplug is very wise. It definately helps with ones perspective.
Prayers up.
Prayers up for Impy’s father, Impy and the rest of the family and, not the least important, this nation and our true friends, wherever on the globe they may be.
Perhaps you need to take some time off for self reflection. Stand down, if you will.
Will you?
Stand down? Man that is not cool. I say never give up, never surrender (GalaxyQuest). Yeah, I reflected for a day. But yesterday, innocent Christian women and children were targeted by Islamic extremists in Pakistan. Meanwhile, Obozo visits his Marxist anti-Colonialist friend in South America. This behavior is more salt in the wounds of this great country, the USA. Where is the answer to Benghazi? Where is the answer for Hillary’s private email server and the Clinton Foundation, pay-to-play? Where is the accountability for a President who breaks an oath that he made to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States? OK, I’m done now. Sorry Impy, still praying for you. Please pray for me too, y’all. Prayer works but you must believe.

I will keep him in my prayers today.
Not quite done yet, where is the answer for a $4T 2016 budget, a budget that Obummer wanted six years ago. The repububicans gave him everything he wanted. This will not stand.
-Frank
I pray for Impy, his father, you, and all of FR. Over the last eight years we’ve gotten salty. We’re angry, argumentative, testy. Even FR has been tainted by obama’s (and I shudder to type this) leadership.
Bravo AW!M. You called it. We may have different opinions, but we all love our country. Peace be with you!
Thank you for the prayers.
Thank you for the prayers.
Thank you.
You guys rock!
FRegards.
Thank you for the prayers.

As for honorable opposition ...
This forum hashes out controversies, but we need a fresh pespective — especially with each other and toward each other.
More humor helps too.
FRegards ....
I post on prayer threads whenever I see them, but don’t feel bad if you don’t. I’m praying for Impy’s dad.
Of course. Prayers up. In the end we are all Americans despite differing opinions.
Thank you for your prayers.
FRegards ...
Very, very sorry to hear about your father Impy. Hoping for a safe and rapid recovery.
Prayers up, and a deep and humbling lesson has been learned by me today.
