Re: Thomas--Didn\'t find him, but...
I’m happy… and I’m sad.
After Peter’s post on Thomas being seen yesterday by the local police, I was relieved Thomas was alive… But is he well?
Sometimes a person can be alive, but just as well be dead by merely existing and not functioning in everyday life…
I called Thomas again, after Peter’s post and of course got that crazy answering machine…
I left a message telling Thomas everyone at TBN was asking and wondering about him. I told him a member and his wife drove over 180 miles round trip just to check on his well-being. I indicated it was not in his character to just “go away” without saying something.. I asked him if anyone said anything wrong or if his health was preventing him from returning to TBN.. I asked him to call me collect if he just wanted to talk about anything or if there was a problem. I told him if his computer was not working, to let me know, that’s what I do for a living and I would repair it for him @ no charge to get him back on TBN. I stressed we all care about him and don’t wish to invade his privacy… I told him we all want to help, but we can’t unless he decides to call back… I said we’re all praying for him… but, it’s up to him… I then hung up...

Re: Didn\'t find him, but...
Pete thanks for the effort that you put forth today.
Guess from this we can all draw our own conclusions as to what were and why. Sort of a mystery I guess. Will it be solved or left unsolved, only time will tell. Just alot of conflicting stories thats all. Makes you wonder.
To all the others that have called and emailed Thomas thanks as well. Just goes to show that the internet can be more than just a keyboard and a screen.
Finally to Thomas if your reading these posts at least just say hay and that your ok. Be it on the phone to someone, on the forum or by private e-mail. We do care about your donunt eating, coffee drinking, kubota driving, motercycle driving, somebody. K ok.

Re: Didn\'t find him, but...
It was an accident of geography, folks. Thanks for the kind words, but if the same thing happened to a TBN member in another part of the country another of our family would have done the same thing.
Let's just hope Thomas gets at least one of those messages.

You really went above and beyond, as may others have said. I don't think anybody could have done it any better. Thanks Pete!

Re: Didn\'t find him, but...
Wow, this is a tight community! I'm just catching up from being away myself and I hit this thread. Incredible, the concern for someone most of us haven't ever met. I too hope all is well with Thomas as I have missed his faithful comments on virtually any topic. I do recall a post of his regarding a "new love" in his life. Let's hope all is well, just a bit redirected for the time being /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Kevin,
Welcome to TBN! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
John and Pete, take another pat on the back for a job well done. Its good to know some people will do good things.
Now, Kevin, about this Group Hug Thing, I'm not sure TBN is ready for a Digital Group Hug! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
I'm kinda worried how Mr. M. would do such a thing and I'm afraid of what kind of Artwork Harv might come up with on this subject..... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
Welcome....
