Nobody knew about it until then

FWIW, the timing when others knew doesn't matter. God knew, and He knew a long time ago what would happen and who pray and what their prayers were going to be on your behalf. He knows the future, has numbered every hair on your head, and saved every tear you ever shed.

has numbered every hair on your head,

Well,if that's true,he certainly has more free time on his hands than he used to have. Not much numbering to do anymore.

LOL! When I wrote that, I thought, what if he's losing his hair...:-)

Monte ... post #21 = Starwind believes like we do!

I pinged both of you guys to this thread so that you would see what poor sneakypete went through, have a warning "just in case", and let your friends know about it, too. This is serious business.

Thank you, Jesus, that you took care of sneakpete!

Hey Pete. Glad you made it, man. It took a lot of courage to write about your ordeal and pass the word on up the line for the rest of us, in case we have to take cover.

You may have left the Special Forces, but the Special Forces haven't left you. I hope you mend to God's good health.

Regards, Buck.

You may have left the Special Forces, but the Special Forces haven't left you.

You can surely trust those guys to not let you down,and they didn't. The SF medics saved my life. It's as simple as that.

I hope you mend to God's good health

Thanks. Don't hesitate to ping others to this thread.

I haave enjoyed your posts and am glad you are better.

I sure hope you are completely well real soon. You are so very nice to think of others after all you have been through.

Please, take care of yourself. I remember your kind remarks when my cat was assaulted by a mean, mean person early last year. You are a very nice guy.

[Diddley]

Even if we sometimes have disagreements, we are all on the same side here.
I am very pleased to learn of your recovery.
I look forward to more jousting with you, and I certainly wish you the very best.

Regards,
Diddley.

I need to add - Thanks for your service to our country.
It was a courageous act to reveal an intimate fact about your life to help others.

Regards,
Diddley

I haave enjoyed your posts and am glad you are better.

Thank you.

[sneakypete]

You are a very nice guy.

Thank you! That's something I don't hear much around here!

[sneakypete]

I certainly wish you the very best.

Thank you. Please make sure you tell others about this thread.

[crazykatz]

Well, you have always been nice to me.

Bro, thanks for posting this, I have no doubt that it will help others in the future, and I know I will never forget what you have described and what needs to be done if worse comes to worst. Know our prayers are with you.

My boys and family will know, so they can in turn pass it on. Those SF medics jumped all over this one and got you the info you needed pronto. God bless 'em.

... and now you are doing the same. That's the mark (IMHO) of a heart andd mind that's right. I know you may not place a lot of stock in such things ... but God's working through you to help others, and I believe nudging your heart and mind to put this info out.

As harpseal says ... stay safe - stay armed.

It took courage and humility to tell everyone about this-- I think you're a hero. Thanks, Pete.

God speed, sneakypete. I would say, "God bless you" but it appears he already has. :0)

[Auntie Mame]

My god, man, you surely used up one of your nine lives on this one. Astounding!

Hope you don't mind, but I feel compelled to deliver my personal prayer of gratitude on your behalf.

I can't help myself, I have no control: So, now if you start being all nicey nice and cuddly, does that mean you lied about the part where they didn't have to cut anything off? ; - )

Ouch! Don't hurt me!

[sneakypete]

Well, you have always been nice to me.

Thanks. I always try to be nice to the people who are nice to me,but can be something slightly less than nice to people who attack me. This gets ME suspended,but the people who attack me from out of the blue seem to be immune to any negative results to their attacks.
