Afal,

A big "Thank You" for telling us the truth about the medicine.

What was this thread about?

Exactly.

A big "Thank You" for telling us the truth about the medicine.

It occurred to me tonight when I was taking my medication that I could tell you more about this medication by reading the information sheet. It says:

Propranolol tablets may be used:

to reduce high blood pressure

to relieve angina

to help prevent additional heart attacks

to control heart beats

to lessen migraine attacks

to treat tremors

to calm people who are anxious or worried

to prevent stomach bleeding

IT DOES NOT MENTION DELETING BAD MEMORIES!!

Can we trust everything that we read in a newspaper???

It's the bad memories that keep me on my knees. It's the bad memories that keep me in repentance.

You're a lovely man, brother eric.

You know something Afal?

Already your experience has provided a good witness, for me at least.

I think maybe we have confused bad memories, something that we all have to some degree, and traumatic experiences, something that is so extreme that few experience. There are different degrees of trauma and I cannot honestly say I have ever had a real traumatic experience. I have been through some really bad experiences in my life but none of them were severely traumatic.

I honestly do believe in the power of prayer and I have NO doubts that God still moves among his children, healing them of every affliction. It just takes FAITH that He will provide and do what is best for us.

May I ask what you mean by this? I would love to know how my experience has provided a good witness to you.

All testimonies can be helpful, that's why it's good to share.

I don't know the details Afal.

What I meant is that you have shown a lot of grace in our discussion and reminded me to not be too quick with my opinions. Would you have taken the same position if you weren't a victim of a trauma?

So yes, you have a good witness. You reminded me that every bad experience is NOT the same as an extreme trauma...and you did so with patience and grace.

We are molded by ALL of experiences... good and bad, even the traumatic ones.

You seem to be a very nice person.

Let me give another stab at this.

Two years ago, my 24 year old son suffered two major strokes. Subsequently he was diagnosed with a rare brain disease and required brain surgery. He underwent two STA-MCA bypasses... one on each side of his brain. It is a looooong story but you get the point. He almost died.

...but he lived. It is still a struggle though. His plans to go to medical school were scrapped...for now at least.... but he has endured by the grace of God.

That experience has affected him deeply, quite obviously. It took that extreme negative to open his eyes and he turned it around to glorify God. God had changed him deeply and brought him to his knees. God used that bad experience as a witness for His glory.

When Jesus was asked by the disciples who had sinned... the blind son or his parents, He answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life."

Two Scriptures helped me through my son's illness: Matthew 17:20 (faith the size of a mustard seed) and Romans 8:28 (in ALL things...). Actually, I remember holding a mustard seed encased in amber while my son was having both surgeries.

I hope this explains what I meant a little clearer?

It was during this time that I changed the Scripture in my signature to 2 Corinthians 1:3,4.

Well, I certainly do not want this to become an Afal appreciation thread, but thank you for the compliments.

I hope that your son regains his full health.

Let us just hold on to what you said in an earlier post:

"I honestly do believe in the power of prayer and I have NO doubts that God still moves among his children, healing them of every affliction. It just takes FAITH that He will provide and do what is best for us."

Amen and amen to that

I'll keep all my memory's thank you, the good and the bad..............they have all taught me something.

As always!
