Barney,

In the words of billy bob thornton, ""I like a way you talk""

Praise God for the strength of you and your wife to accept daily challenges with grace and the knowledge that there is a place of quiet rest, near to the heart of God.

Be not dismayed whatever betide
God will take care of you;
Beneath His wings of love abide,
God will take care of you.

Thru days of toil when heart doeth fail,
God will take care of you;
When dangers fierce your path assail,
God will take care of you.

God will take care of you
Thru every day, o'er all the way,
God will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

All you may need, He will provide,
God will take care of you;
Nothing you ask will be denied,
God will take care of you.

No matter what may be the test,
God will take care of you;
Lean weary one, upon His breast,
God will take care of you.

God will take care of you
Thru every day, o'er all the way,
God will take care of you,
God will take care of you.

God bless

dan

Dear OMB:

OMS is sorry to hear about the wife and her heart ordeal. I was in the hospital about 5 weeks with heart attack but chose not to have angioplasty. Had to put up a hard struggle with doctors but I have faced transition before and though I will miss the friends of this life and my family I am not going to try to go ainst what I have created and nature is repaying.

This old duffer is 74 and do not care to exist causing a burden for others. Remember they pulled the machines keeping me alive after a 3 month coma? That was over 13 years ago. If I pass on while typing this it will not disturb me unless I have extreme pain in dying. I have no fear of death. There is no heaven or hell as destinations. Just a changing of the guard as it were.

We missed your poetry. Wish I could meet the two of you and maybe will the next time around. OMB I believe you are my kind of people. We just have different levels of religion. My best to your wife in her recovery. The women get credit for making us what we are.

Good Morning, Barney. There are two things advancing years does to a person; no, three. As age begins to prey on their bodies, they get real greatful to the Lord that sustaineth. Or, they get bitter at what life has dealt them and no one wants to be around them. And, if they belong to the greatful group, God begins to reveal much inner strength and knowledge that few have.
I see that inner knowledge in you, Barney and I thank God that he has began to reveal it to me, in a small way.
God keep you and your mate and lift you up for the days ahead. May they bring you joy.
Santiago
