I was having a LOT of internet and computer problems yesterday. You had a post that I was unable to reslpond to which was to the effect that you and I have had strife in the past. If so, I have no recollection. My attention span in flame wars is a few hours and I do not hold against anyone that they have flamed me. Each and every FReeper has the same right to his or her opinions as I have to my own and that is what makes this website the wonderful community that it is.
In 2014, at Thanksgiving, I collapsed into a coma induced by sudden massive kidney failure at home, on top of numerous other very serious medical conditions. I was in that coma until a few days before Christmas and the doctors expected my to die each and every day of the first seventeen days of that coma. People on this website, including some whom I had shamefully treated in flame wars, prayed me back to consciousness and physical survival through the grace of God.
My health will never be truly good. I got out of nursing home care in April. I now drive, shop, occasionally go to a Chinese Buffet, and go to Mass when when weather permits. Because of kidney dialysis about 20 miles from home, I have to go into town three times a week but I am about to be able to do and be trained to do my own dialysis at home.
When my Savior and yours gave us the Lord's Prayer, he taught us to say: "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." Trust that whatever you may ever have said to me here is forgotten and forgiven. I ask that you forgive me any transgression against you likewise. Please keep me in your prayers as I will keep you and yours in mine.
May God bless you and yours!
Dear Sir and Fellow FRiend,
I appreciate your post #691 very much. I confess that not knowing of your computer issues, the thought crossed my mind that you might prefer to have no further interaction with me, and of course I wouldn’t bug you if that were the case. Your response was a pleasant and welcome surprise.
As you might have already seen me say previously I was supporting Ted Cruz long before Trump got into the race, and I believe that he is a true Christian gentleman, although I think he has not been well served by some of those working in his behalf, there have been far too many missteps by his campaign and as our Esteemed Founder of FR has said, Ted has to really get cooking here to remain in contention.
Sorry to hear of your health complications but certainly glad to hear that you have recovered to this point and hopefully will continue to make progress, I too have a number of health issues (nothing like yours) but we both have the same doctor, that Great Physician Doctor Jesus, and if He is on the case, then we have no need to worry about anything. Any disagreements we may have had, well it must be my memory giving out because I can’t remember them anymore, lol - I will be pleased to remember you in prayer and your own good thoughts and prayers are most welcome as well.
I will also mention in a general way (out of respect for your privacy) that I know the integral part that you played in your region, in the victory of our 40th President Ronald Reagan in 1980, you worked your heart out and gave 100 percent, and you are certainly to be commended for that and I offer a belated “thank you”. We’ll never see another Ronald Reagan, but he inspired enough of us that what he stood for will never be extinguished.
Hoping the rest of your week will be superb.
Best Always,
Mark Jessup
