I know I am not a frequent poster. But did want to let you all know I am back. Have had some health issues and been a rough last couple of months. God is good however and I know he walks with me and supplies me with all I need.
Is good to be back.
Bro. Gary

Truer words were never spoken Brother Gary. I am pleased the Lord is getting you by these health problems.
The Lord and I have been dealing with a very rare form of cancer as well as a number of other health issues for almost 8 years now. However He also brings me past the periods of illness faithfully.
There have been many times I have prayed that He restore my body. Yet each and every time I hear the words of the apostle Paul.
(2Co 12:7) And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. (2Co 12:8) For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. (2Co 12:9) And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2Co 12:10) Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
I cannot say truthfully that I take pleasure in all of my infirmities. Yet the fact that I have had cancer for this long has not frightened me once. Each and every time I go through one of my syndromes the power of prayer of a lot of people being me past it. I am so grateful for all the things He has done for me.
In Christ, George
