Nine Principles To Believe In
1. America is good place, not perfect, but good.
2. I believe in God and He is the center of my life.
3. I must try to be a better, more honest person than I was yesterday.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and not a guarantee of equal results.
7. I work hard for what I have. I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree or share my personal opinion.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them. They answer to me.

Thanks.
You formatted it much better than I could.
Its not fair.
Fair voyages and a joyous arrival blackie.
See you when I catch up.
Rest well until then.
Prayers on the way!
Bubble #2 up to the top and forget the rest... at best window dressing and at worst actually bucking the Lord... and blackie’d tell you so if he could freep from heaven.
I going to miss Blackie... His fellowship as a Rider, and his wit and wisdom he gave to us.
Dang Nab it! Keep that shiny side up Blackie...
We’ll ride together again when I get up there...

I only knew blackie by name recognition, but I was struck by the fact that the first item on blackie’s profile page is Scripture by the Lord Jesus Christ:
Jesus said:
“When these things begin to come to pass,
then look up, and lift up your heads,
for your redemption draweth nigh.” - -
(Luke 21:28)
Instantly, another Scripture came to my mind:
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” 1Cor 13:12
Then I began to review blackie’s posts and soon I encountered another Scripture quoted by blackie (on a Tim Tebow thread):
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
It had been an instant reply to the previous post by Licensed-To-Carry who said:
“John 14:6 is the key verse in the whole Bible, its as simple as that.”

I feel great joy for blackie that he now abides with his Redeemer and Lord Jesus, face to face, and I pray that knowledge comforts his family and friends in his physical absence from them.
PS: In my mind’s eye, I am also beginning to see a Freeper contingent in heaven and look forward to meeting, face to face, so many wonderful, precious, and kindhearted Freepers I may never be privileged to meet here on earth.
Blackie was a good freeper and will be missed here by all of us.
Jesus Christ: You cant impeach Him and He aint going to resign.
Condolences to the family of Blackie on his loss. :-(
I am so sorry to hear this and join with all the others here lifting up the loved ones to God for His mercy, blessing and guidance as they deal with blackie’s homegoing.
May God rest his soul. Prayers sent for his family.
May peace be with you blackie.
Crying. We JUST lost touch right before he died. Breaks my heart. I see Ruth died too. SO many of us from 98’ Freepers.Thanks for the ping my old friend
