I decided to listen to that Easter message again. I appreciate it.

Robert’s last forum profile picture was of him with Stephen.

It looks like you can view the NYT’s piece once, then paywall?

Today .. Sunday ..

2016 / P.1:

Today, I got MN up and running after a total delete and rebuild. I am actually glad I had to do it since it allowed me to set it up for much better future use of the domain.

I thought things seemed different today here in MN...

Even after I was confirmed, I was told I couldn't read the threads...But now, here I am and found that Robert has begun his now infamous thread entitled, "Today". Now about all the post totals that we all lost...In that respect, I was the biggest loser from MD (not the state either). This will only confirm what some folks already thought of me...

Today ..
i woke to the most beautiful morning light across the way. o.my goodness. how beautiful. and still.
that certain strange stillness.

literally, “the still before the storm”. i checked weather. sure enough, and now it’s comng in. the storm.
looks like from the N-NW. now already raindrops on the window, visibility ‘way down. hail would not be unexpected.
yep. another storm.

that beautiful strange mornng light, tho. hiding the storm just behind.
some artists focus on painting light. i understand why.

one day long ago, Robert posted a beloved passage:

”This is the day the Lord hath made.”
yes it is, Robert. yes it is.

Can't believe he is gone.

Can't believe he is gone.

It’s a hard time now.

P.171:

Today a dear friend passed away unexpectedly of blood clots. She loved the Lord.

Sorry for your loss while I celebrate her victory.

April 19, 1995 - Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing, OKC. (A married-in 'uncle' of mine was killed in the blast. Actually the father of my second cousins, but I addressed him as 'Uncle Bob'.)

terrorism is the lowest thing, whether it’s one targeted victim or buildings filled with victims.
the intent to harm without any mercy at all is chilling.

i’m sorry you have this awful burden.

It is just a 'remembrance'. We were also here in the States when Timothy McVey was executed. I was not in favor of that, nor did it make me feel good. I could show you where I was sitting in the church house that following Sunday, except that the pews have been replaced with padded chairs. It was a sad day for me, because as far as I know, Timothy had never repented, so a soul went into hell that day. (My uncle, on the other hand, was a Christian, and a former pastor.) I do not remember when the execution took place, just that we were back in the States again at that time.
