You may recall that I said the story of Job is more than just an allegorical tale meant to show how man can be rewarded by retaining his faith despite worldly trials, and that ultimately good things come to those who believe, to wit;  there are two rulers governing us and God is responsible for everyting good and bad. The one ruler, call him god, the same one that offered Jesus the "moon" in the wilderness, Satan, the Adversary, Devil etc., is reigned in by GOD.

Job underwent impossibly to be beilieved horrors.  His whole family wiped out, his entire fortune gone, living in absolute poverty, followed by lesions so bad throughout his body that he could'nt  sleep. Afterwards he was rewarded with riches and family that far exceeded his past good life.

Well, I consider myself a "minor league" Job.

My wife passed away..taken from me in Nov '13.

In Dec, I scraped my right arm on the wooden door jam, band aid. Next day it was swollen, finally to the degree it looked like half of a child's football (like Popeye's  forearm). Hospitalized where I received 3 pints of blood to reverse the effects of blood thinner.  Swelling lasted for close to a year, and it's effects still visible.

I recommend  that you never blood thinner..take a chance on a stroke, like I am! 

Witness, I no sooner arrived in the "garden" city of Lancaster, Ca, than I experienced lesions on my legs, one of which biopsied to see if it was cancerous..it wasn't.  

Next, I experienced one syncope (passing out unexpectedly) after another. Now, here's where I was blessed, for which reason I have no answer, except that God may still have work for me..promoting my video, GOD'S MESSENGERS.

The first syncope occurred when i was driving in my car, BUT I was in reverse and when my car struck a pole in the parking lot, I was surrounded by nurses concerned for my wellfare. This occurred in my hospital parking lot!  Next, when I passed out  the next thing I knew, my son was bathing the wound in my head.  This happened in my kitchen!  Wait, it gets better. I remember speaking unintelligibly before I was surrounded by paramedics. I had passed out in my doctor's office, while talking to him!

Pacemaker installed.

Continuing, the next malady concerned my digestive system and gastroentology..constipated, followed by diarrhea, rectum dropped, forced back  by doctor..imagine a prostate exam over 45 minutes..couldn't pee, then hemmoroids dropped and I pushed it back in..bloody mess! This over 5 weeks, while I lost 10 pounds..since regained.

My daughter Millie finally succumed to cancer this past Feb.

Most recently my fault. I scraped my left leg on an aluminum picnic table outside indoor pool, while trying to climb on top to sun myself. Leg infected, two weeks for swelling to go down.  Day before yesterday, I was back at my indoor pool, after cut healed.  I got back on the same picnic table and tried to adjust my position, scraped my right leg this time..no infection, but still hurts..no pool exercise 'till it heals.

I'm not sure about sunning yourself on aluminum table, but strongly   recommend exercising in the water..everything feels better in the water.

Due to  ill advised merger in '08, I'm $750 poorer each month..my payments to the Gestapo/IRS. 

So, now I'm Waiting  for  MY reversal of "fortune"..bobnpaul
