I received a call from my cousin the other day that his brother is in serious condition in the hospital. He went in last Saturday.
Its sad to see a good man with a kind heart who only a couple of years ago was a strong strapping guy become broken down into such a frail person. We spent many days together in the mountains and our cabin and I have countless memories - all good.
I've driven the 150 miles or so round trip Wednesday and Yesterday to spend some time with him in his last few days here on earth. Said a few prayers with him and consoled him when he bacame emotional.
It just goes to show you that God can take us whenever HE wants us. It doesn't matter how much money you have or how many guns or other material things you have.
I say this to all my friends here - Do what you want, when you want to do it. You never know when it's your turn to be called.
