Rest in peace Bigdog88.
I am deeply saddened to hear that one of our most active posters has lost his battle to cancer. BD88 and I had a rocky start but soon we were talking for hours on the phone and became good long distance friends.Our friendship was a beautiful example of how two Brothers in Christ can have polar opposite views but agree to disagree and still be friends. He told me he prayed for me each night as I trucked through the night. This was a guy who lived in pain and still took the time to pray for others. Please pray for him and his family during this tough time. He suffered alot but we talked about the Lord alot and I'm confident that he is totally healed and walking in the presence of his Heavenly Father. He was 46 years old.
