3 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet.

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.”

"For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens."

"The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us."

"Peace I leave with you;
My peace I give to you;
not as the world gives do I give to you
Do not let your heart be troubled,
nor let it be fearful"

"You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

Rejoice in the Lord and give him your burdens. He will sustain you. May he provide strength to you and your family.

Never met Ben, but was in many threads with him through the years. I think almost everyone here sent donations to his fundraiser, hoping to make a difference, and it did. It lifted his and his wife's spirit and he loved TD for it.

God's eternal blessings, Ben. See you someday in that great Tiger Stadium in the sky.

Never conversed with Ben but readily have known the name from TD. He's obviously made a positive impression here given all the kind words to and about him. Godspeed and prayers for you, friend.

Ben,

We are all here as witness to the strength and selflessness with which you fought your battles. If this is the last battle, just know you've inspired us by living your life as the man we should all strive to become. Take rest when it's time.

I did not want to ever read this thread.

Or the other.

My prayers to Ben and Chrissy. Good people who I have not met in this life, yet may meet someday if I'm lucky.

I don't ever know what to ask the Almighty in these situations. But I would ask HIM now, in this moment, to see HIS will done. I would ask that HE bless HIS children with comfort, love, understanding, peace, and the kind of love that only HE can show us.

Whether sooner or later, may we all feel the love that we now ask for, that will lift Ben and Chrissy and their families upon high. Love overcomes all. I cannot directly give what love I have for them to them at this moment, but I pray to the Father in the name of Christ that my love, and the love of us all, is felt in this terrible and dark time by those who need it most.

Amen.

Amazing how you’ve touched us all, Ben. We are all friends and countrymen, even though most of us don’t know each other in person.

You sir, have made a difference - to me and to all of us here. You are brave, and, you are strong, and you have fought the good fight. You should be proud of the life you have led and the family you’ve made.

I wish you and your family peace, and God’s comfort through this difficult time. Prayers your way friend.
