I believe EVERY Christian should be a FRUIT INSPECTOR, and I have to watch you for a long time, to see what kind of Fruit you will have in the harvest.

Matthew 7:20 (HCSB)
20 So you’ll recognize them by their fruit.


WHAT PM ? ? ?

You have realize, I AM 69 years of age, so I DO NOT Read every single post, not only because of my age, but also that I am very slow reader. SORRY, but that is the way it is, when you get to be my age.

According to a friend of mine and my brother in law, after you turn 60 you have to pee all the time, like a pregnant woman. I hope that's not true and they are both the exception and not the rule of turning 60! :eek: I'm only 7 1/2 years away from 60.
Yikes!! Im 9 yrs from there..dan..when you get there..tell me how it goes ;)

Okay, it is FAIR for me to warn you, IT GETS WORSE AS YOU GET OLDER. :cautious:

I had a Stroke Last Fall, and it left my mind a mental cripple, for Two Weeks my Sister came to stay with me. I had a lost all my computer skills, and about a week later, I was VERY SLOWLY getting a tiny bit back. I asked all those hear to pray for me and had three Churches praying for me. But about the Time my Sister had to go home, I was getting little of it back, but I really was still thinking is this all the better it will get. I was approved for Driving, and my sense of direction was still good. So about 3 weeks my computer skills came back to where I could function. And by 4 weeks, most of my member came back. Yes it was Scary. I would say about 4 weeks and on, about 95 percent of my mention capacities were almost normal, but my Spelling on certain words just went bye, bye. So when I am typing when at word refuses to pull up in my head and I cannot get the word CLOSE ENOUGH for my spellchecker to correct it. I just think of a different word that I can spell. I had most of my passwords wrote down, so no problem. But I still have couple of computer games that I cannot play, because my memory cannot remember the Password.
I'm having trouble with recall now. I wish I had an app I could use like a reverse dictionary that I could enter the definition and it would spit the word back to me that I'm struggling to remember. I'm not really a dumbell but some times I struggle with what I want to say because the words escape me. Very frustrating.

I've found Vitamin B after a meal helps a lot I took about a month for me but it has made a significant change in my age related cognitive disorder.

Take it soon after a meal so it digests with food or all it will do is make yellow waste water. How old are you? I think it makes a difference.

Hi Calibob, I'm 68yrs old, a Vietnam Vet, 1969-1970. I have prostate cancer from agent orange in Vietnam so that I need any vitamin supplement that will help eliminate the cancer for good. I am taking Mangosteen capsules daily which is a powerful antioxidant, most folks here understand my background.

My wife and I were retired in Thailand when I got the bad news, but today Praise Jesus He puts a smile on my face every morning. Six years ago I prayed the prayer of King Hezekiah and made my request to God to extend my life on earth. He has been faithful to me at every turn of the corner in my fight against P.C.

Hezekiah's Prayer:
"Go and say to Hezekiah, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of your father David, "I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add fifteen years to your life.

God bless!

Amen and thank you Jewel, it is through our trials and tribulations that God truly shows us we can trust in Him in every life situation. We serve a mighty and powerful God. Another daily practice I do is, "look" for small miracles. If you don't look you will not see these amazing things that God does for us each day to make life more enjoyable.

Yes God is GOOD!

Then you know exactly what I mean. Like I said, "It only gets WORSE!" :cautious: Such is Life. :sneaky:

If I have 3 items that I need from the Grocery Store, and DO NOT MAKE A LIST; chances are by the time I drive to the store, I WILL HAVE FORGOTTEN at least 2 of the 3 items that I needed.

Yes but I usually make up for it and buy stuff I'd have forgotten to put on the list any way's. And I take the bus so I never go home empty handed, too much work going there for nothing.

Sleeping soundly in arms of Jesus! I do remember a time when not knowing my fate would keep me up at night, but . . .

"Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep" (Psalms 127:1-2).
Amen.....below is how a word is defined....

Bible-->Hope<--a confident expectation of something guaranteed <-eternal life by grace dia faith

Cainologists->Hope<--i just bought a lottery ticket in Jesus and hope I make it if I do enough good things
