Re: And when they don’t overcome,
|
Observer, the same thing that happens when their many prayers go unanswered. I have seen even ministers lose their faith. Those are the unfortunate ones. As they say, life is unfair. Good and bad hit us mostly whether we are good or evil. Often the hard part is figuring if what hits us is good or bad. Only then we still must figure out how to deal with whatever it is. Like so many of our older members, I have a fair number of health issues. Several of them should have killed and are quite likely to kill me in the future, if I don't get surprised and killed off by something that I have not yet experienced. Aging, increased limits of what I can do, and the process of dying makes a fascinating study. I take an ever-increasing number of medications, none that will heal me, only hopefully delay actual dying, provided that their interactions don't prove lethal. I am always rather fascinated to still exist. So far I have survived my issues thirty-three years. Late night posting often go in strange directions whhich is why I do not do them too often.Three hours past my usual bedtime.
