Prayers Up! also check out www.paudarco.com use the extract from GNC, Whole Foods or such. Many ‘terminal’ lives saved. I used it and my radiation therapist agreed it can be very useful. Whenever someone says the “C” word o me I say pau d’arco.

How?
How are You at once the source of fire,
how also the fountain of dew?
How at once burning and sweetness,
how a remedy for all corruption ?
How do You make gods of us men,
how do You make darkness light?
How do You make one reascend from Hell,
how do You make us mortals imperishable ?
How do You draw darkness to light,
how do You triumph over night?
How do You illumine the heart,
how do You transform me entirely?
How do You become one with men,
how do You make them sons of God?
How do You burn them with Your love,
how do You wound them without a sword ?
How can You be patient, how can You endure ?
How do You not remunerate at once ?
How do You see the actions of all,
You who dwell beyond all creatures ?
How do You look at the conduct of each one,
You, who are so far from us ?
Give patience to Your servants,
so that trials may not overwhelm them!
- Saint Symeon
Please accept my prayers for you and for your family.
May God give you strength.
God bless you Johnnie! You are well loved here! May the Lord see you through this travail with peace and grace. May you never cease to feel His love for you. And don’t forget ours either!
Johnny, not sure you are able to read all the wonderful posts.. you are loved, respected and right now the object of prayer and concern. You were always a little bit of a renegade (did I say little bit when it is BIG time)... that was part of your charm & appeal.
Be strong my friend. Keep God as your center. Know you are very special to so many of us.
Hugs from Ohio
Prayers sent for you Johnny.

Johnny,
You are in my prayers especially during this Lenten season. You have many friends on Free Republic who are praying for you as well. May God heal your sickness and give you strength.
Amen.
I’m so sorry to hear this, I’ve really liked your posts.
I’ll pray for you, and if you lived closer I would send you my famous chicken soup.
You are in my heart and in my prayers, Johnny. You’ve been a real friend to me over the years. Please keep a seat open for me in Heaven, OK?
Prayers for you FRiend...many prayers. So sorry to hear of your diagnosis...but please know that you are being lifted up in prayer by so many.
G-d bless.
prayers.
Good Grief man,
It was like I just heard that from my brother.
I have read your comments for years and always appreciated the things you mentioned about yourself - the little personal tidbits. Several times in the past I would mention to my wife some comment that JRandomFreeper would say and she would crack up cause she loved your freepname.
In fact about a month or more ago you mentioned something and I got the uh-oh vibe that something wasn’t right.
Know that folks truly appreciate and get inspiration from you and your comments and wit.
Most importantly, it is in the most extreme circumstances that you can fully unite yourselves with Christ through your sufferings as He suffered for you a couple of millennia ago.
As Paul said in Colossians 1:24 ‘I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body...’
We are gonna miss you man, you will definitely be in our thoughts and prayers.
Lurking’
For the Greater Glory of God
Can you add me to your ‘update’ list... Thanks.
