Ray is gone
Rene:
God's will be done. It is perfect, it is good.
I thank our Heavenly Father for showing us His mercy and grace by giving us time to "prepare" for this day and for finally relieving Ray of his pain and suffering. May his blessings be upon all of us to endure until the end.

I rarely post here and didn't plan to bother Ray with my problems and trials, but then this year (actually on the new year's eve), all of a sudden i finally felt the need to send him a long email to talk about my trials, he wrote me back with lots of comforting words, i am glad God put the desire in my heart to talk to him just in time.
:'( :'( :'( goodbye Ray, hope we will see you again soon.

Although I was afraid this day would come I, like all of us, prayed that God’s will would be to let Ray stay a bit longer to give us more words from his wisdom. But it seems, God knew that his battle was done and no doubt, Ray will hear the words ‘well done, good and faithful servant’! Although my heart is broken today, I rejoice in thankfulness his suffering has ended and now can only pray that Manuela and family will continue to be strengthened by all the love of those here and, of course, by our Lord’s spirit.
I thank my God for leading me to Ray’s site those many years ago when I was at the bottom of the barrel spiritually and emotionally. Words are inadequate to express my joy in the ultimate revelation of scriptural truths in Ray’s articles. Lord, I thank you for Ray, the man who wasn’t afraid of showing his ‘warts’ but wielded your Sword of Truth with POWER that only You could give him! I look forward to meeting him someday alongside Paul, Peter and all of those who are YOURS.
Love & blessings to all,
Barbara

Manuela,
I am so very sorry to hear about your husband's passing. Even though I don't know you or Ray, I wish that I could reach out and hug you. Going though something like this is never easy. We will never really get over losing someone we love. He is part of you forever. He will always be in your heart and in your mind, and your life. That is what makes it hard.
I am also glad that Ray is no longer suffering and in excruciating pain. But I cannot imagine how difficult this is for you and your family.
May God grant you everything you need to get through this.
I am so sorry for your loss.

From very early on in my time at B-T, I've rarely opened the forum without at least a little dread of reading this notice. For everything there is a season...a time to weep.
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all (including those who sleep) be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
This is the way it has to be. I'm thankful for the faith, grace, comfort AND the foretaste brought about by what Ray has shared from the Scripture.
My prayer is for Manuela and family and friends. God be with you as you go through this, each in your own way.
