PastorWayne who used to post puns on here contacted me today to let me know his wife Marti has just been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cervical cancer. Next Tuesday they are headed for a Cancer Centre and are praying that the cancer has not gone into her lymph nodes. I am sure you will remember him Pixi as you and he used to trade puns. He is a dear man with a beautiful heart and Marti is a special person too. Your prayers will be appreciated.
Thank you for the update on Pastor Wayne. I was wondering what happened to him. Will keep him and Marti in prayers.

I too wondered what had happened to Pastor Wayne, loved his puns, I will certainly keep them both in prayer and light a 24hr candle to be sure that when I am not in chapel the prayers will still ascend.

Of course prayers are said for both Marti and Pastor Wayne. I have missed his puns and have wondered about him, he is a wonderful man. Thanks Aussie. Everyone be safe please.

Such an unexpected problem, and it hits so hard. They both must be terribly worried about the outcome. I hold them in my prayers and asked God to hold Marti in His hands. Thanks for the update, aussie - I wondered where PW was.

Got to this thread late but have said prayers for Marti and Pastor Wayne. God bless them.
This is a beautiful photo of a majestic animal, I know it is not the kind of animal you would want to cuddle but that does not take away from its awesomeness. I have to say that it is not a Brown bear it is a grizzly bear.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I am sad, why, because I keep looking for a card from my sister and then I remember that there will never be another one because she died earlier in the year.
Now my friends I place you all into the Healing Hand of our Loving Heavenly Father for whatever kind of healing you need, Hugs.
Barbaranne, your sister may send a special gesture to you tomorrow - perhaps an especially lovely sunrise or set, a butterfly to flutter near you, or a special flicker from a candle. She's not forgotten you simply because she's gone to God.

Barbaranne, I know no one can take the place of your beloved sister but please accept my greeting for a Happy Birthday! I agree with aknan that your sister will send you a special gesture. Hugs to you.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your love for your sister will keep you strong during difficult times.
I've read the comments about whether this is a brown bear or a grizzly bear and I don't have an answer for that. I do know that, in my estimation, all bears are grizzly when they rear up on their hind legs with fangs and claws bared!
Hoodeet that was my response as well. It is a great big and very handsome grizzly bear. As handsome as he is I wouldn't want to run into him or her....especially her if there are cubs. Be safe

I too have commented on the fact that it is a grizzly, and now I am wondering if the "Brown" refers to the colour rather than the breed!

Thank you, that is exactly what I thought! Don't grizzly bears have that "roll" behind their head, just like this one has?

Grizzlies are technically brown bears; living in Alaska, we learned that early on. The grizz has a dished-in face and may have a roll of fat and muscle behind the head, depending on how early/late in the feeding season it is.

Sometimes I think I understand everything.....then I regain consciousness.
