I'm not sure why I am writing this, but I'll just share it here. I recently had a dear friend pass away and it has made me think of my own mortality. I look forward to the day when I have given up my ghost, and maybe that day may come sooner than I expect.

Anyway, most of you know that I post regularly here, and I've been a member of this forum for almost three years. If for some reason, perhaps a month or two has gone by with no posts to my name, maybe six months I will hope it is because I have left this worldly realm and have joined with Christ.

It is a wonder unlike I could ever imagine. No desire for the earthly things, my spirit free from the dregs of my flesh.

Peace to all of you, and may you all find your way to the Lord!

Love
HB

Are you sick Bob? That would suk to not have you post here anymore. Spirit led Christians seem hard to come by in today's age I'm sure we'd miss your good nature and humble persona.

Thank you for the kind words. No my friend, I am not sick, but I feel a pulling at my spirit, it is a very strong yearning to go home. It is a strange sensation like being in two worlds. I cannot see the next one, but I believe it is very much there.

Many years ago another friend had told me about his near death experience. He said he was out of his body and then felt like he was in a bubble, if it had broke he would have been on the other side. He told me he could feel as if people were pushing the bubble from the other side, unseen.

Recently, I was at the funeral of my other friend and I spoke with a man acquainted with him. He told me of a very similar experience when he wrecked his motorcycle, except while he was in his bubble he heard a voice not to look into the light and to go back.

I've wondered ever since.

Maybe my feeling will pass.

HB, I feel what you are saying and have similar desires... however, I have a stronger desire that there is more work to be done here for now, even though I would rather be face to face with the Lord without limitations of being in His presence right now!

You can't leave...you are just leafing out...

HB when someone close to us passes we often think of our own mortality. That is a normal patternal behavior....So be at peace there....

I have known you now for the length of time you have been on this forum and I dearly miss our talks....I don't frequent this forum much anylonger but when I see someone I hold dear post such as this, it makes me reach out.

You are a dear friend and I miss you greatly....

God bless you!

We don't want you to go --- please!

Humble dude I dont think that is death knocking---but your spirit realizing it is about time to go home, that might not mean death but a awesome transformation...

Awww, you people. Thanks! ((hugs)).

I'm feeling better

Hey HB did you ever see that movie....Little Big Man? This reminds me of the part where Chief Dan George goes up to the burial grounds and lies down to die since he feels like it's his time. As in it's a good day to die! But, alas, he doesn't die. God doesn't want him yet!!

[34] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

[30] Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.

Luke.21
[32] Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

ok dude....ive read the whole thread but i have to say this....i hope your not planning on dying or going anywhere....because we all love you and we will miss you!!! you are stuck with us cause you are part of our family on this forum and for some, i know definately for me, that being on this forum and discussing biblical things, or just having fun and getting to know each other better makes us one big happy family of God. and for me, its the closest i can get to some sort of family at the moment i know, its sad. but i love coming on here and reading what others have written in the threads. so please dont go anywhere cause God loves you and so do i

Oh, my dear. Quite honestly, I really think it is the reason why God keeps me around. Praise the Lord and may his will be done.



I'll have to go see the movie. Thanks, John.

Humble Bob,
Your posts are a blessing. You have a sweet spirit. Pray to stay as long as the Lord has need- there are very wondrous things coming in the Lord.
If you have no love for the world- that is a good thing.

GBU,
April

HB!

Don't you go anywhere! I was hoping that we would share another trek
to the rock...it is Jesus you seek! It is time for 2 or more to agree in prayer,
fast for three days, take turns on the watch, and speak forth our intercessions
for repentance and mercy, with hope for perfect justice and judgement and that
we stand!

I dreamed recently that I died in a foreign country...and indeed, I now
understand that I am dead in a foreign country...the one that I have lived
in all my life. Praise God.

Humble...I am going on the journey with you...many are...YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
so, don't leave us alone...yes, trekee let's hit the trail, OK?

On your mark, get set, go!

Love,
Signet

Humble Bob,
I am so sorry for your loss. May our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus comfort you and give you peace and refresh you. May our Lord bring you deep and great joy. What a blessing you are my friend and I give glory to our Father in heaven. Thank you for trusting in the Word of God. God bless you for being an example to the rest of your brothers and sisters in Christ that you are standing on the Rock and nothing in all creation can move you.

I stand in unity with our brothers and sisters in Christ and ask that you stay and continue being a blessing to us.
Your friend and sister in Christ Jesus,
