<< < (7/9) > >>

Phil3:10:
Thank you Dennis and Ray,
Dennis your support and help provided to Ray is sent from GOD. You are truly a friend and brother to Ray and all who value his teachings and this forum. It is my prayer that I will be financially able to forward a contribution to Ray by the end of this month. You both mean so much to all who visit this forum and love the teachings of Ray Smith. My prayer is that GOD will provide HIS full blessings for the both of you.
In HIM,
Phil3:10

Thanks so much for the update.  My husband's Stage iV is following downhill progress but is becoming too weak now.  He can no longer sit in the wheel chair for more than a few minutes and is in so much pain.  Even elevating his upper body puts more weight on his hip.  The prosthetic inserts were bolted into healthy bone but that bone is now cancerous and the rods have nothing to hold on to so every movement is agony.  In my Wayne's case, we know we are reaching the end but God has given me such strength.  I'm very tired and I've lost 60 pounds (not a bad thing).  I have sad moments and times of weakness but feel closer to God than ever.  At the worst times, I seem to be strangely strong.  Then, I pray and feel such love and support that sometimes I even feel like the Lord folds me in his arms.  We were having good days and bad days but now have good hours and bad hours.  Sometimes he doesn't have the strength to talk and I have to guess what he wants or needs. I'm so strangely at peace and I surprise myself every day. 

I think about Ray and his wife all the time and keep them in my prayers.  This evil illness!  How is his wife doing?  Are the doctors able to keep Ray somewhat pain free?  Please give them my love and best wishes.  How obvious it is that Ray's work isn't yet finished and it seems he is being given time to this purpose.  I hope and pray for his improvement.  He is quite an inspiration to me and his work has set me on a path that changed my life; my outlook on life.

Again, thank you Dennis.

Dennis Vogel:
Ray is never pain-free Pogo but it is manageable much of the time. His wife is in more pain than he is in most of the time.

I passed your post on to Ray.

I wish I had some answers for you, but I don't. The best I can do is pray for your husbands comfort.

Just know that we never stop giving thanks to God for you, and praying that God continue to hold you and your family close to His "heart" and should it be His will, heal you completely in body and spirit.
Dennis
Thank you for always keeping up to date with Ray's progress. I have prayed for your health and hope your difficult days of pain are now behind you. Blessings to you and your entire family.
