I don't know if anyone feels the way I do, but I have been finding so much strength from reading all the responses to this..we are family here and we can draw strength and hope from each other...as we come together in our hearts to pray for Ray...we get stronger. God has given us such a gift here! Not only Ray and what he has taught us, but God has given us each other..we share a common bond here on BT and I have not felt like a part of something so big in all the churches I ever attended!
There are those of us here who would really be lost without the others! There are brothers and sisters here who are suffering from hurts and from sickness and from sheer loneliness, and we are all the same no matter from what part of the world we may be! Ray is our teacher and our mentor we have grown to love him just as we have each other...before the Mobile conference I had thought that it would be so cool to actually get to meet Ray! But at the conference I made the startling discovery that if you have read his work and watched the videos and listened to the audios you've really "met" him because that's who he is! Dennis and Rene` are so fortunate to live near him and Dennis, we know that you are his best buddy! I'm just asking that when we pray for Ray, and I DO pray that God's will is for him to continue and to be healed, that we will pray that whatever God's will is concerning Ray, his work will go on long after L. Ray Smith has gone to his rest!
So let's keep praying for our Ray and let's pray for each other, too! I want us all to be strong and move forward in the truth we know..Ray said at the conference that he wanted to show us HOW he studies..so that we will know how to dig deeper and deeper to find the truths that are in the scriptures, that is his secret you know, so as he has told us so many times....READ ALL THE WORDS!!! Every word has a meaning and if it wasn't in the original scriptures..toss it and find the real meaning!! Ray said he tells God to show him what it means and that has to be our prayer too! We have to press into God until we understand what it is He's telling us!!
So everyone, chins up! Pray for Ray and pray for each other!
Love you all!!!

I am saddened to read this. However I know that God operates all. May His will be done. I will be joining in prayer with all of you my brethren.

Kathy, our resident cheerleader, that was a very needed and appreciated post. Of course, you are right, and I am one of those who would be lost without all of you. I feel so close to you all when I read your posts and responses. You don't know how many times I've had a question and coming here to post it I find that it had already been asked and answered or discussed. It used to make me feel "weird", now I thank and praise God for my brothers and sisters in Christ. I feel helpless to do anything right now except pray....but isn't that kind of the point? All my thoughts and prayers are with Ray and our whole Bible Truths family. May God be with all of us and strengthen us.
Peace and Love in Christ Jesus,
Tammy
