Dittos. See ya at the race this afternoon.
NOT A SMART ALECK QUESTION........can drinking cause seizures???
I lost my mom, who was only 62 years old, to a stroke two weeks ago; she lingered unconscious in the hospital for days before passing.
Having just dealt with the pain and emotional distress from that, I can’t help but feel for Mr. Kennedy and his loved ones. Even if you despise the man himself, try and appreciate the worried suffering his friends and family must be going through at this time.
(Howz this for a nonremoveable, politically correct post?!)
I believe that a benediction from a pastor is called for.
From a pastor from Massachusetts. His name was Jonathan Edwards. A long time ago he wrote a sermon entitled “Sinners in the hands of an angry God”.
Here is an applicable selection from that famous American document:
“The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider, or some loathsome insect over the fire, abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire; he is of purer eyes than to bear to have you in his sight; you are ten thousand times more abominable in his eyes, than the most hateful venomous serpent is in ours. You have offended him infinitely more than ever a stubborn rebel did his prince; and yet it is nothing but his hand that holds you from falling into the fire every moment. It is to be ascribed to nothing else, that you did not go to hell the last night; that you was suffered to awake again in this world, after you closed your eyes to sleep. And there is no other reason to be given, why you have not dropped into hell since you arose in the morning, but that God’s hand has held you up. There is no other reason to be given why you have not gone to hell, since you have sat here in the house of God, provoking his pure eyes by your sinful wicked manner of attending his solemn worship. Yea, there is nothing else that is to be given as a reason why you do not this very moment drop down into hell.”
AMEN
I think it is shameful to get the hopes up for so many

Forgive me, but I have to ask...what were you hoping for??
A doctor on FNC just listed many reasons for seizures, one of them was liver disease.
>>>”Senator Kennedy is resting comfortably, and it is unlikely we will know anything more for the next 48 hours,”
Resting comfortably could mean coma...
Face it folks, over on the left, even if they're not saying it openly, right now they're sizing up what effect Ted's misfortune will have on the party's future.
Certainly the level of excellence he will be provided is far above that of what he wishes for the "masses".
how's my "quasi-daughter"??? (haven't seen her on the WBTS threads lately)
my BEST to you/your lady.
fwiw, "duckie" & i are doing FINE.
free dixie,sw
Seizures can be a sign (not symptom) of several things.
It looks as the prayers of FReepers have helped Sen Kennedy,
but one doubts that he will appreciate it.
I guess the moderator didnt understand my post? Since it was yanked. Oh well....
Under the eyes of the lurking world, we should only pray for swift deliverance of the original Notorious BIG.
Weather you agree with him or not, or like him or not, God loves this man just as much as he does anyone else. So prayers for a recovery, and God bless and be with you Ted. I hope and pray he has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
God Bless you Mr. Kennedy. May you recover and return to work as a Christian with good heart and deeds.
