It appears that Tommy Shelton's health is not the best right now. If this is so he needs our prayers.

I have been told that Tommy suffered a massive heart attack on Monday, and last I heard the prognosis was not good.

Johann is right. Prayer is definitely needed.

Really? Honestly? I thought he was an alien from Mars with his own UFO to fly around in.   ::)

What a disgusting comment, Junebug.  Is it really necessary to resort to such sarcasm when a man's life may be hanging in the balance?  Good grief.

God loves us all in spite of our successes or failures....

Johann, I know you probably meant well by what you stated but it does have the hint of judgmentalism which is definitely not needed in a thread in which we are lifting one of our brothers and his loved ones up before the throne of God.

Are you certain your response to Junebug is a fitting one here in this thread?

Really? Honestly? I thought he was an alien from Mars with his own UFO to fly around in.   ::)

Junebug, I understand the the emotions that are driving your posting of this statement, and in any other thread here on this forum the sarcasm might be appropriate but does a spirit of contention belong in a thread where we are lifting up Tommy and his loved ones before our God?  Should it not be, instead, the spirit of prayer?

We all come from a common bloodline; we have all sinned and come short of the glory of God; we are all mortal; we are all loved by God no matter what.

Please folks, let's set aside the acrimony of this saga in this thread and just focus on lifting Tommy up.

Johann, my understanding of your meaning here is that Tommy Shelton is a human being loved by God in spite of the very public allegations swirling about him, and that the hope exists that he will make things right with anyone he needs to before it is too late...  Feel free to correct me if I am wrong...

Even if Junebug uses a strange name, I'm sure that behind the disguise is a person whom God loves.

I was told tonight that Tommy is home and doing some better, but still has a couple of blockages that will have to be dealt with.

I am also disappointed in some of the posts in this thread, therefore, let us indeed focus on praying for Tommy Shelton.  :praying:

Now, I know that Joahnn can most definitely speak for hiimself, however, Snoop, if he meant all that you stated, then he was wrong to do so.  Nobody but God and TS know the status of the relationship between them.   

I would like to believe that Johann's statement meant exactly what it said, with maybe a hint of reminder to those who are callous enough to do anything but pray for their christian brother(there are more than a few of them here)..........this is just so sad.

TS and his family are in my prayers.  This is a time where everyone is suffereing on some level, we need to be about the business of encouraging and keeping each other before God in prayer
.

He is still a human being who God loves.

Well, I wish I had never even tried, anyway!  I don't know what I was thinking...to try to interpret someone else's thoughts.  I was just really frustrated with the sarcasm and condescending sermons that had to infiltrate a thread innocently intended to inform the readers about a life-threatening development involving one of the lead players in this 3ABN/Shelton saga.

  My bad... :oops:

Well we are all in the same boat of sinners, but some sinners run their course over the line and it is only God who knows who is walking around already dead. And of course it is not ours to determine but I do know one thing for sure that in the time of Aron he opened up the earth and swallowed the sympathizers.  I do have compassion even on serial killers only because I can picture that once they were a brand new baby and think what in the world was done that they did the horrible things and I know that Jesus has a broken heart with their own selfish desires and patterns they chose. But they chose the pattern and I cannot sympathize with the deeds and basically that is what I see in the back and forth emotions here. All we can do is trust and pray. It is an example of what we can expect in our own lives if repentance is not sincere and to confess our sins to one another that we sinned against. It is judgement time. On a serial killer you know he will not take away or kill someone else who's pattern is not evil. And then his circle is broken. This was the instruction in Biblical days as it should be now. Yes it is sad for a human life, but we are all tested.

Thank you, Snoopy. I feel sorry for those people who interpret our intentions to fit into their own molds.
