So sorry to hear this, Barbara. I haven't been a faithful follower of Ben, but I have enjoyed the stories I did read. Thanks for sharing. Sending prayers his way. There are a couple others I haven't heard from for too long as well.

Oh thank you. I will add him to my prayers. It sounds quite serious. If you speak with him, please send him my good wishes from Australia, and prayers will be going up.

I appreciate this post tremendously. I am still relatively new on this site, but have become a fan of his. I'm sorry to hear he's not doing well, I am not sure what that means. Has he been ill for awhile? Or is this something new? Thanks for sharing, I will send my prayers!!

Thank you for the prayers. I am not sure exactly what it means. I know a few days ago, he said the wasn't well, but then he posted and said he was doing better, and not this.

Thank you for letting us know he is ill and would like our prayers. Mine are certainly added as no one should feel alone at this time in their life. I have enjoyed his imagination.

Ben has been a friend for many years now. A fine Christian gentleman and enjoyable writer. I remember when his wife passed away. I'm so sorry he isn't doing well and hope it's only temporary. Thanks for the heads up.

Hello Barbara, thank you for sharing this information about Ben. I had been gone from FS for quite a few years, and just returned this year, so I only recently became acquainted with Ben. I'll keep him my prayers. Hoping he will finish his story. LateBloomer

I'm not a religious person, but I'll be sending every earnest best wish I can muster. I know I've been away a while, but like any family, I feel there's a fold welcoming me back here. Thanks for sharing the message, Barbara.

I knew he wasn't doing well, he misses his wife Mary, but he's struggled on and has led a great life in ministry, he has an Indian great grandmother I believe, he wrote a series with her in his early stories, I will pray for him. Well done, blessings Roy
