Praying for a full recovery.
Praying for Impy’s father.
I agree with you. Civil discourse and debate should be our goal. Emotion should be held in check in order to pursue the truth as best we can.
Thanks for posting.
Prayers said for Impy’s father and Impy. Also prayers for all the freerepublic family especially during this election season. Amen.
Praying for Impy’s father and fir Impy.
fir=for
Prayers up.
Your 'confession' will help YOU as well of the REST OF US who are getting caught up in this vicious cycle.
Prayers for the father with this accident and also prayers for ALL of us FReepers who are becoming more and more short tempered; of whom I am one of the worst.
And our true enemies as well...
Today; about 3,300 innocent future American citizens will die from CHOICE; and we worry about terrorists?
I'll post my picture.
THAT should be good for a laugh or two!
You’re in my prayers my good friend.
Impy, so sorry to hear about your father’s accident.
+++++++++
Father God,
Your servant is in need of healing and hope.
May his vision of Your plan for his life be illuminated;
may his surrender to You be the lamp unto his feet;
may his salvation through the atoning sacrifice of Your Son on the cross be the light of his life.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen!
Sweet you were arguing with sweet Impy?
Unbelievable!
This is a grand, but very typical gesture on your part dearest Arthur Wildfire! March. Thank you so much for proving our FRiendships are premium and rise above all.
Thank you from my heart for pinging me. I’m so sorry I’m only just now seeing my pings.
I offer my prayers for your father and for you Impy.
Lord, hear our prayers.
God bless and keep you, dearest Arthur Wildfire! March.
O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see Your Hand,
Your Purpose, Your Will through all things.
St. Ignatius of Loyola
Praying for you and your father.
Prayers up for Impy, Impy’s family, and most important,
Impy’s father’s eye. May it heal and not be lost, in the
Holy Name of Jesus, I humbly pray.
Thank you so much for starting this, Art, and for your gracious words.
And thank you all for your prayers.
I have a few FRiends here I think, I only told a couple, some of you I am pinging now so you know why I’m not posting much or sounding angrier than usual, I was pretty angry already about what scum are doing to our great country.
I had to notify my brothers, my mom. Being the bearer of bad news....
His other eye is pretty bad so he’s quite visually impaired now, can’t read, won’t drive ever again (I mentioned the film “Scent of a Woman” and that amused him), he can see the faces on tv if he’s close enough at least and get around his apartment. It’s very difficult.
He’s 68 years old and was active, doing home maintenance, be very careful with power tools everyone, freak accident.
General anesthesia and surgery on Thursday. God’s mercy is all I can ask for.
So, my prayers shall be for your Dad and his well being. I ask the same from all on my ping lists--
Oh Lord, please take care of my friend's father. Comfort him, relieve his pain and suffering. Make his recover go gentle and quick so that he may spend quality time with his son, Impy, his family and friends. In Jesus name, I ask you hear and grant my prayer. Amen.
Okay, I’ll remove my mask at this point.
I have frequently pointed out that my honorable opposition is only over the top because they are patriots who care deeply about the USA. The greater the anger, the greater the devotion to freedom. Best to assume that. It helps us think of them in the best possible light.
That’s probably why you sensed a need to hyphenate my ‘confession’.
But I did get carried away with retaliating against impy right before I found out that his father had a severe injury. I’m more ashamed of that post than any other in this primary.
But we should also refuse to be silent in the face of malicious slander and malicious misrepresentation.
So it’s a balancing act. Best not to initiate the attacks, and retaliations should be from a sincere desire to shift perspective rather than to crush egos.
We should also attempt humor.
No politician should be a ‘god’ to us. Limited government requires limited respect of government.
