Bill: I asked the group to pray for my wife during her recent total knee replacement, and it (the prayers) worked. She came through it with flying colors..But, how does that make this a prayer group??? To make it fishing related, my wife loves to fly fish as much as I do, but, her knees had gotten so bad that she couldn't fish anymore. Man, if you have a problem with that, I feel sorry for ya. I don't know about you, but I cannot, and will not be a ROBOT..On the reverse of what you said, the day we get to where we cannot ask for prayer for reach other etc, is the day I'll say adios forever..

I agree Jay and everyone else Fly Fishing and Tying is why I joined the list not prayer groups or political rantings. I’ve been a member for over 8 years and I do not participate much anymore because of all discussions of other subjects I don’t come to the list for birthday updates, prayer lists, sport team discussions etc. I joined for Fly Fishing Stuff so if this is a prayer list I’ll have to say bye.

And . . . .we've always treated each other as family, including births, deaths, birthdays and other info that friends pass along to each other. I said it once before when I was the MODERATOR of this list and I'll say it again. All work and no play makes for a miserable exixtence. Likewise, Posts limited strictly to fly fishing / tying makes for a very dull list. Dull lists are ones that lose membership. We gain a few members and we lose a few members. Nothing wrong with that! I for one welcome a little "banter" among members and also short family updates. Hey, don't tell a grandpaw that he can't let the list know he's just become a grandfather. Nuff Said ?!?!?! JIMMY D. MOORE VFB Moderator Emeritus P.S. You migh not see many posts from our list owner, Byard Miller, but I garon-damn-tee you that Byard is aware of what transpires on this list.

The other stuff does not belong and nothing drives members away quicker. Is this group moderated???

You state your leftist position and then tell everybody to keep itabout fishing and then apologize for the rant. The alternative would be tonot hit the send button. On a more topic related note, I have some pics of my son and his Armybuddies fishing one of the palace ponds in Baghdad. I also have a coolphoto of him following through on a golf shot hit from one of the stoneportals of the same palace. It was shot from behind to make him asilhouette with that pond in the distance. Thanks to everyone that does what they can to keep troop morale high. --- On Thu, 10/23/08, Bill and Tina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Bill and Tina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Subject: [VFB] Re: Urgent Prayer RequestTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Thursday, October 23, 2008, 9:41 AMJimi, Will do.

Sgt Anson Martin is returning to the states for surgery on his shoulder. This young man has been a pen pal of mine and a major contact in country in Iraq. We all know that if it was not a serious situation he would not be medivaced back to thestates. Being the Hero that he is, he is playing it off as a no brainier. Please, keep this young man, his wife and kids, Mother and Father all in your prayers. For a quick recovery, travel blessings for him, and his parents asthey head down to check on their son. Sgt. Martin is the one who has put me in contact with a Sgt. in country in Afghanistan for CFOT. And he is the one who has been keeping me updated on arrivals and troops in country in Iraq. Please ask God for special blessingsfor him, his family, and those he has left in country whom he cares for so much. His heart is bigger than the entire South West.Thanks,JimiUSCG ITWPATWT 100% Vet -- No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG.Version: 7.5.549 / Virus Database: 270.8.2/1739 - Release Date: 10/22/2008 7:23 AM -- **************** ><((((((((º> **************JIMMY D.
