Beowulf has returned! I want to thank all of you for your kind thoughts and yes, even for your prayers! Deists do not deny the power of prayer but we see the result coming from a different source. Anyway, Thanks again…..it will probably be a few days before I can enter any of the discussions, I have several months of work to catch up on – Beowulf

Glad to know you're getting better. And the work you missed here in the forum has piled up. I think I've found over 100 different spots I would've expected to see your rebuttal.

I'm sure the whole forum will be happy to read this thread today.


Peace

Welcome back babes ;D

Hi Beowulf.

You don't know me but I am a friend of Consumate Deist and he invited me over here.

He said I should keep an eye out for you.

Til then.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. These last few months have been physically challenging and emotionally enlightening. If you have never had to regain the ability and stamina to walk from your front door to the end of your driveway, you wouldn’t believe what a sense of accomplishment it is. Let’s face it; any surgery is nothing more than a learned “madman” assaulting your body with a very sharp, pointy object! I use the term madman for surgeons because I have never really met one that was totally sane (their insanity is usually harmless and often charming and even lovable) but their devotion to their craft (yea even art) is such that one has no qualms allowing their ministrations! But I digress, surgery is hard on your body in many ways and requires you slowly regain your strength and abilities. I was as proud when I walked that 30 or 40 feet as I was when I graduated from college! I did gain some new perspectives from this experience. I have found that I am not irreplaceable (horrifying as that seems), my Lady, wife of 30 years, is a strong person and can shoulder great burdens when needed. I learned that my daughters do (despite their annoying little quirks) love me and I, them. I learned that I can (of course I knew this from combat) face death without fear, even when it comes from known sources (surgery vice combat). These have been my findings, with one more….I have found that the folk on the website are for the most part caring and loving individuals. I may rail at ye, rant at ye, and even (occasionally) call you semi-naughty names, but know that this is just part of my sense of competition and I return your feelings wholeheartedly. Know also that many of you (Theists and Atheists) have my respect and admiration (but that isn’t a card ye can play in a debate – The Grumpy Wolf

Hi there!!! Glad you're back man!

Anyways, why did you have to have a surgery?
