It is so great to see the resurrection of the RITAN forums! I have truly missed the conversations and the wisdom of those who participate. Great to see so many familiar names and faces. Looking forward to participating! Thank you for all your hard work to get this back up and running. Welcome Jenny, looking forward to having you as part of the RITAN family. Numbers 6:24-26 “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. :prayer-hands: Always glad to welcome a Brother in Christ to the family. :prayer-hands: Hi everybody! :yahoo: I can't begin to tell you all that I'm so very ecstatic to see that Ritan is back! Felt bad went it went only to Facebook, though I understood why. It's just that everyone has something that bugs them, and Facespy was my one thing. LOL! Anyway, I remember most of you. :heart: Sure have missed the fellowship :rose: I don't know if you all remember or not, but my Dh had suddenly gotten ill with a brain tumor. I think my last post at the old board was requesting prayers for him. And thank you for all of your prayers. :heart: I never did get a chance to reply, as things just started moving and going downhill so fast with his condition that I never had the time, and he passed away shortly after my last post. Only 1 month after his diagnosis. My Dh owned a business. He was a relatively young guy, so he didn't have a continuity plan for his biz in place, and it was up to me to keep things going for awhile, until I could decide what to do. His biz was fairly high tech, which I am absolutely not, and had never run a business before! Fortunately he had lots of good employees that were able to guide much of my decision making, but suffice it to say, I had my hands full, and during that time RitaN moved to facebook. Well, just thought I'd give you a brief update on what's been going on with me, and let you all know that I'm doing okay. I have sure missed everyone. Been looking through the posts, and see lot's of familiar and beloved brothers and sisters in Christ. :yes: One name that I haven't seen yet is "Dan". He was a mod on the old board, Is he still with us, and just busy taking care of the Facebook part of Ritan? Well, looking forward to fellowshipping and praying, and watching for the return of our blessed Savior with you all. I have to tell you that He was with me every step of the way during my Dh's illness, and afterwards, and still through today. God is so good. Hallelujah, what a Savior! :amen: Love you all! :heart: I'm Dan Whitestone on the FB site, Chris, a mod there and here now, more like a lurker/mod, but never was one on the old site. So maybe it was another Dan way back then. Nice to have you back! My wife of 47 years, Linda, died nearly five years ago. I thought I would die of grief. Then, right about the time we went to FaceBook here, I finally met Kolleen at a brunch. She was NoOtherRock on old RITA. We've been married almost 2 1/2 years now. Surprised by joy... I expected the Rapture for sure in 2012. And many times since. I wonder if excitement and anticipation of thrilling events is going to cease in Glory. :unsure: This ride hasn't been a lot of fun sometimes, but I'm still really excited. God bless you, dear. Hi Dan, I remember your moniker, "my white stone", on the old board, but don't think that I knew your real name was Dan. I think I had your name and David's name mixed up in my mind. Been a long time. I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife Linda, and extend my condolences. I understand your grief. But my, the Lord is so good, He brought you Kolleen! :yes: I do remember Kolleen as well. My hearty congratulations and best wishes to both of you! I've been expecting the Rapture since the 70's, and am still excited thinking about it. Every day is a new experience when looking at the News headlines. I think that we'll always be excited about new and thrilling things, even, and maybe especially in Glory. That's the way the Lord made us, and I don't think that is ever going to go away. I can't begin to imagine all of the new and exciting things that we'll witness and participate in on the other side of the Rapture. Gets my imagination sparking just thinking about it. Good to see you again, and God bless you as well. :yes: Was on the old site way back for several years, and lost you when you went to Face Book but found you again. Glad to be back. Have continued to be a fervent 'watcher' through all this time and excited that these recent COVID events are setting the stage for tribulation....and we'll be outa here before the wrath begins......When you being to see these things begin to happen, look up for your redemption draweth nigh....horay! Hello Ritans, It’s Goldenknight, so exciting to see the site back. I use to be a members years ago and then the site went away. Boy, do we have a lot going on now prophetically speaking than we did back then! I saw Loz and Yohanan (sp) - hopefully I will see more from the past. Welcome back! TR Ola. Newbie here. I am going to teach until I get banned or Christ returns.
