Alright basically my bro just had to go to the hospital because he has an infection in one of his testicals and its seems to have gotten worse. My mother just called and aparently they have him hooked up to Morphine right now and they dont know exactly what is wrong with him.

So please wether your religous or not could you guys please pray for him, he means a lot to me and i just dont know what i would do without him.

Thank You!

Hope that dudes testies turn out fine, but I beleive in evolution. So I'll just smoke a bowl for him instead.

yea i believe in evolution too, i am actually very anti religion but i figured that in a time like this anything could help, but hey man thats good, smoke a bowl, smoke a blunt, some a joint.. anything man, im just worried as hell that hes going to come out of this just fine.. hes only 12

The younger you are, the faster you heal. At least he has that on his side since he's only 12.

Anyway, you should do the praying. You don't want a bunch of strangers to pray for somebody they don't know. to me it means more when the person praying truly cares, instead of just some temporary pseudo care/sympathy crap.

[Infin1ty]

trust me man im not just lookin for sympathy, and sorry if thats not what you were trying to say.. lol sorry im pretty drunk right now so yea.. for anyone that really cares ill keep this thread up to date on how he is doin, and hopefully he is pull through this. He is a strong kid.

Every time I try to walk away from GC to work on my grow or writing projects I feel compelled to return here because this community is something that's beautiful and special. Also, there's some suspicious activity around my p.o. box so I'm laying very low right now. Which is a bitch because my phone keeps ringing with some desperate smokers that are looking for the best. UGH!

Anyway...

Infin1ty I feel your pain bro, I know what it's like to have someone that you love become very ill and not really know if they were going to fully recover or not. I remember with absolute clarity how desperately helpless I felt, so much so that I would've done just about anything to alleviate that feeling. You are not alone and I've already prayed for your brother. I don't know him but I don't need to know him to hope that God intervenes to ease his pain, because to a measure I wish it for us all. I would also submit that even though you believe in evolution it doesn't preclude the existence of God or an instinctive need to search it out in times of doubt and that's perfectly okay. Let's stop trying to put a cork in the bottle, we live in a universe of endless possibilites. In my humble opinion I don't think that evolution and belief in God are incompatible, in fact I will go so far to say that when people try to be definitive either way they're trying to eliminate something that will be part of the human existence forever, questions.

"How is one to live a moral and compassionate existence when one is fully aware of the blood, the horror inherent in life, when one finds darkness not only in one's culture but within oneself? If there is a stage at which an individual life becomes truly adult, it must be when one grasps the irony in its unfolding and accepts responsibility for a life lived in the midst of such paradox. One must live in the middle of contradiction, because if all contradiction were eliminated at once life would collapse. There are simply no answers to some of the great pressing questions. You continue to live them out, making your life a worthy expression of leaning into the light."

There's no precise answer to times of trouble or loss but one thing I know for sure is that all we people have are each other, and until God chooses to reveal itself "definitively" that'll have to be enough.

Be well bro and I wish nothing but the best for you and yours.

Not extremely religious although my trip to Israel made me feel stronger in my Jewish roots, but never the less I will say a prayer for your brother. Hope everything works out man.
