I have been very sick....Pneumonia....one cloudy lung(perhaps the onset of emphysema)....a nodule found on the other lung and kidney disease. Quite a combo but there are a multitude of peeps praying for me. Seems to be working as the pneumonia has seemingly been cleared up(with the aid of antibiotics)...the nnodule has mysteriously disappeared(although tests are still in the process)....I have(again) quit drinking....I have drastically cut down on smoking(eventually plan to quit with the help of God and nicotine patches)....as far as the kidney disease.....I haven't had any further tests yet.....so only HE knows. PTL!!!  Love, Steve

 I have just received all the xrays....scans....mri's etc. on disks as to my lungs. (whew, what a job!!!) Next, I must find a lung expert to assess what is going on. NOT an easy job on a fixed income and being 63, without Medicare/Medicaid  will it be easy. I trust in my Lord Jesus Christ without reservation and accept His judgement, whatever it be. You ALL are so precious to me and must accept that judgement also. I do not even know where to begin in finding help(doctor-wise). I have exhausted all of my money on what has been done. Again....I am NOT here to plead for financial aid...merely to say that ther IS a way, with HIM...and......With your prayers....HE will find the answers for me....always has ......always will !!!!  I hope that this....MY testimony will assist others in KNOWING that God IS with you in everything if you accept His Judgement and know that there is a VERY good reason for it. Perhaps it is simply to prepare you for His gift of eternal life. When He knows you are ready.....then GO....in peace. Perhaps I am not ready....perhaps He has something really special in mind for mehere, on Earth???  Everyone has a purpose....even, as I sometimes can attest, as a bad example for others not to follow. I love you all in a way I could have NEVER have known....without His teaching  me the meanining of the word. I really didn't know until I joined His multitude of brothers and sisters and this group of folks. Thank you so VERY much !!!!   Try believing instead of whining.......It works!!!   I am proof. Love, in Christ, to each and every one of you(yes, and even unto my "enemies" elsewhere)....... This is not intended to offend anyone who is not a Christian....it is merely MY thoughts. Go with YOUR higher power....in peace.

Please do not worry about offending anyone Steve. They have the same feet to leave with as they came with if they are. I don't mean that to be rude, but no one is forced to stay here, your stating your beliefs as any member may and your not attacking anyone. Too much pc-ness in this world and not enough gentle boldness. I pray the Lord heals you completely.

I suppose it will be a while before I have any further news....I have exhausted my options as far as more tests and a doctor, both are expensive!!!!! Cannot afford to do anything at this time.  I am ineligible for medicaid/medicare....I am not considered disabled(yet....I suppose one must be on their deathbed)....public transportation does not extend to Pinetops, NC....and I have used up almost all of my pre-paid cell phone minutes to find an organization that will help without anything close to a positive result. I get recordings and transfers to more recordings and finally(after much wasted time) I get a real person(sometimes) who informs me that they cannot help. Some have recommended other charitable organizations where I get the same results.....NO!!!!   I suppose God, in His grace will have to do any healing at this time. Bless you all. Steve

As mentioned above...I called Social Services as I haven't transportation to Tarboro or Rocky Mount where ofices exist. I was told by a VERY nice lady that I wasn't eligible. I have the documentation to prove my ailments but she insisted I would be wasting my time and any resources to try to come in, in person. I Really am at my wit's end as far as public services. I am not here to solicit  financial aid from my Christian brothers and sisters, but if you do wish to send a card or just write me....my addy is: Stephen J. Robb, P.O. Box 850, Pinetops, NC 27864.... You may text(please do not call....expensive...while RECEIVED texts cost me nothing) at: 252-290-4448. They do not deliver the mail here in tiny Pinetops...we must retrieve it ourselves......(Isn't that a laugh?)...The sickness causes PAIN....But the humor must REMAIN.  Blessings to you all....Steve

Say, your not that far from Virginia. Call the 700 Club. 1-800-759-0700. That is their prayer line. Ask them for help. They have helped people all over the world with medical needs. They can get you to the right number for help. If it is not a toll free number, ask them to have them call you.
