I just read the last 2 posts from Ray.  I know only too well the pain of severe scoliosis & its complications.  I don't sleep more than 2-3 hrs. at a time, because of the pain & discomfort-and that's with taking a so-callled pain reliever.
As long as you have breath in your body, God is using you.  I know that at times, the desire to want to get off this planet can be overwhelming, because it seems like you just can't take anymore.  But it's that innate desire to live that wins out, because we know the Lord isn't finished with us, yet.
Thank-you for posting your writings online.  I don't remember how I "stumbled" upon them, but I can say that I have a peace and a hope that I was missing.  I've been a Christian for many years, and inwardly questioned some teachings/practices in the churches I used to be a part of.  My husband & I walked out of organized religion a few yrs. ago, and haven't looked back.

I love reading stuff like this, Deblynn.

Dear Ray

...sooth and allay my fears, heal my hurts and pacify my anxiety...is as you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.

I marvel at the Mercy of Love in you, manifesting through you that is the work of God in you.

You are loved, exceedingly abundantly above all that may be asked or thought, according to the power that works until now. 

Deborah...the long lost student...

I love you Ray Smith. The Lord just is not finished with you and that makes me happy, yet sad for the trial He has also put before you. I do try do find a smile in that knowledge but, still, I do not understand His ways. You are in my prayers.
