OT: Roo's Miracle...A TPB's Community Thread Of Unity and Support

[Fleet 1]

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Personally, I am not religious. But I harbor no ill-will towards those that are religious (many of my friends and family are religious). If their Good Book offers peace and guidance... then I celebrate that. Life is short, be good to one another. One of my all-time favorite human beings was a Baptist minister after all.

Just remember that your minister's best bud was just a carpenter. Simple men can do big things eh Roo?

Amazing. It means a lot to me when non believers can co exist. You are rock solid my brother. ALoha

Lung cancer is a silent killer. You don’t know you have it until it’s too late. If you’re 70 and previously smoked, you should get a CT scan. it’s the only way to find it before it’s too late.

When I was 70, my new, freshly minted doctor sent me for a CT scan because I had smoked for 20 years when I was younger. I had a 38 mm tumor in my lung. Stage 1 lung cancer. I had a lobectomy and it’s now gone. I’m so happy that my new doctor did that for me.

My older brother had a CT scan after that. They discovered a slow moving lymphoma in his lymph nodes in his armpits. He’s now watching it carefully.

Get a CT scan people. It’s the only way to find lung cancer before it’s too late.

And that’s the end if my preaching.

It's alright in my book to preach about cancer prevention...

It took a family tragedy for me to find god. Haven't jumped in with both feet yet, but learning, just trying to learn what happened...

Just trust and ask him to walk with you everyday. It'll take care of itself.

Nowhere else to post this, and I apologize if it offends anyone. I’m a believer, but I’m never felt connected to formal religious entities (e.g. churches). I almost never go to church except on Christmas, especially during football season. My dear wife doesn’t even ask me to go when the NFL starts, not wanting to make me feel guilty or ?

I turned off pregame tv at 9:30 this morning and I went to the 10am service with my lovely always-amazing Mrs Dmac and my beautiful talented daughter. I needed to go with them, and they were glad I was with them today. There were a lot of infrequent attendees there, i talked to a few, everyone is feeling the same way I felt. its not a partisan feeling, its not a policy feeling - its a much deeper and foundational “what have we become”, “what do we do” feeling. How do i as a man and father ensure i always protect them? what am I supposed to do to help reverse trends we all see.

I was so glad to be there today, more than any church visit in my lifetime. God bless everyone, I thought of TPB and how we always come together as a community - not always first post lol (cough) but we always get there. i wish everyone of you peace and safety no matter what you are or what you believe (or don’t).

I’ll stop here and its ok if mods think this is not appropriate and delete this - i get it, I just had to say this and apologize if I violated rules.

Roo died so we can have this thread to be open about. Only thing i will mod is politics. But im stoked on your post. Its good stuff. I know so many that are in the same boat. Its a good time to find peace anyway you can and that way just so happens to be Christ for me personally.

Understand your feelings. Glad you went to church. When there are emotional stresses like what is happening now it is helpful to be around other believers. When 2 or more are gathered in my name I am with them, Jesus said. He was definitely with you, bringing you that peace.
